The Business Exchange by HD8 Life: Bringing local businesses together to find opportunities to work with each other.We talk a lot about supporting local, but the reality is that many businesses still use suppliers from outside the area - often simply because they don’t realise what’s already on their doorstep.
The Business Exchange is about changing that.
This is a daytime event designed to bring local businesses together in one space to better understand what each other does, and where there might be opportunities to work together, refer, or collaborate.
What it is:
A room full of local businesses, all there for the same reason: to connect, have conversations, and explore ways of working more locally.
What it isn’t:
This is not a market or a selling event.
There won’t be customers browsing or buying on the day, and it’s not about promoting products or services in a sales-focused way.
It’s also not traditional networking, so no pitches, no pressure, no awkward formats.
How it works:
There are two ways to be part of the day:
Table / Stall (£15 per business): Includes a 1.5m table space and entry for up to two people from the same business.
Your table acts as a base for the event - somewhere to share what you do - but the focus is on moving around, meeting others, and having conversations rather than staying behind your table.
You’re welcome to bring samples, examples of your work or information about your business.
Businesses with tables will also be shared across HD8 Life in the lead up to the event.
Attendee (£5 per business): Includes entry for up to two people from the same business.
If you don’t need a table but still want to be part of it, you’re very welcome to come along.
You’re welcome to bring flyers or information about what you do, but there won’t be a table or base with this ticket - it’s more about moving around and connecting with others.
On the day:
Expect a relaxed, informal space where:
– people move around and talk
– businesses get a better understanding of what’s available locally
– new connections and opportunities naturally come out of conversations
