Trowbridge business leaders are delighted after the county town was chosen to host the first Wiltshire Business Show next year.

The organisers, County Business Shows Ltd, have booked Trowbridge Civic on Wednesday and Thursday, September 17 and 18, 2025.

The two-day event is likely attract scores of visitors. Exhibitor bookings for the show will open this September.

The move has been welcomed by Trowbridge Chamber of Commerce chair, Kez Garner, who said: “There is definite interest already. It is a great opportunity for Wiltshire businesses to showcase themselves.

“It will be nice to have an annual event to bring businesses together in an expo show that is already a well-established format in Bath and North East Somerset, Gloucestershire and Somerset.”

The organisers said: “The Wiltshire Business Show is a business, innovation & thought leadership festival. Our model embraces a wide range of topical issues each year and we will offer our audience more choice than they can fulfil.

“From our live business exhibition, through to the wide-ranging content, we invite you to choose what is right for you, spend time building relationships, be inspired by new ideas and thoughts, and come back next time and tell us how it went.”

The show will be presented by a collaboration of businesses and business leaders with ideas, thinking and discussion that will help businesses to build relationships and understand more about doing better business.

 County Shows says it will help to start addressing some of the real challenges faced by businesses – whether on an individual level, across regions and nations, or on a truly global basis.

The show will offer speakers, panel discussions and forums. As well as informing and learning, it will create discussion in the areas most challenging to today’s business communities.

The show will have a live business exhibition that allows exhibitors and sponsors to promote their businesses, identify with the discussions and content of the show, and to focus on business development delivering outcomes to support and grow their business.

The company added: “By engaging our audiences, our aim is to inform and create a momentum that will contribute to building a vibrant and engaged business community wherever you are and allow you to reach out and engage other business communities in joined up thinking. We believe passionately in collaboration and innovation.”

County Business Shows also stage similar events in Bath and North East Somerset, South Gloucestershire and Somerset, as well as an online festival called Business Insights.
