Solihull Expo 2025 hailed a 'huge success'

Solihull Chamber of Commerce held their annual Solihull Expo today, hosted by the Cranmore Park Conference Centre.

The expo was very well attended, with 40 stands exhibiting and promoting their businesses and around 270 delegates.

The day also included an economic update seminar, with guest speakers from Birmingham Airport, Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council, HS2, the NEC and Touchwood Solihull sharing their insights from a retail and hospitality focus.

The expo also hosted two seminars; ‘Make Every Word Count’, led by Richard Newell of Perception Copywriting, and ‘LinkedIn for Business in 2025: What’s Working Now & What’s Coming Next’, led by Ben Macdonald of T40 Digital and LessClicks.

Richard gave practical tips and advice for businesses on how to write clearly, get to the point, and save time. Delegates were given practical techniques to improve business writing, as well as tools to enhance both marketing and internal communications.

Ben spoke to delegates about how real businesses are using LinkedIn to attract leads, start conversations and win work, without spending hours a day online.

Speaking on the success of the expo, Samantha Frampton, head of the Solihull Chamber of Commerce, said: “What an incredible day at the Solihull Expo! It was fantastic to see so many businesses come together, make connections, and share knowledge.

“A huge thank you to our amazing speakers for delivering such valuable sessions, to our exhibitors for creating such a vibrant and engaging showcase, and of course to all the delegates who joined us and brought such energy to the day.

“We’re so proud to be part of a business community that truly supports and lifts each other up — Solihull thank you for making it such a success!”
