Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce is set to host their flagship business exhibition this November after a year long hiatus due to the pandemic.

The Let 's do Business event will take place at Uttoxeter Racecourse on 11 November and will see hundreds of delegates from a broad range of business sectors reconnecting and doing business.

The event is the showpiece of the Chamber 's networking calendar and aims to create a platform for anyone who wants to promote their business and network in the local business community. The event also puts Staffordshire on the map as the place to come to do business.

Chris Plant (pictured), divisional director for the Burton and District Chamber of Commerce said: “Businesses have fought hard to survive the pandemic, and now is the time to seek new connections and opportunities to allow businesses of Staffordshire to flourish once again.

"Staffordshire is spectacularly successful at breeding and encouraging new, small, exciting firms full of dynamism and promise. There is no shortage of enterprise in this county but there is a shortage of shouting about it. So full marks to everyone who is planning to exhibit or attend our exhibition. ”

Delegates will also get the opportunity to hear inspirational speaker, Chris Thrall. After a successful career in the army and overseeing the expansion of a million-dollar marketing operation, Chris found himself homeless, experiencing psychosis and struggling with meth addiction.

He has gone on to write the internationally bestselling memoirs Eating Smoke and Forty Nights, and has spoken on numerous podcasts, radio and television programmes and has co-produced two award-wining radio plays on his life and memoir.
