Sponsored by NatWest, Honey Barrett Chartered Accountants and Sea Space, the event will showcase 131 business from a range of sectors.

It is a prospect which has excited organiser Jonathan Dolding, of Ten Sixty Six Enterprise. He said: "Bringing together under one roof all the expertise needed to give your business the competitive advantage, it really is an event you can't afford to miss.

"With more than 1,200 people attending last year, this year's event will provide one of the region's best opportunities to network with like-minded pioneering entrepreneurs."

The exhibition will also provide a range of advice from seasoned professionals - advice which can be taken away and used to improve the fortunes of your business.

Mr Dolding added: "It is starting to become increasingly tough out there for some businesses so why not come along and give your business the best possible chance of survival, profit and continued growth."

Let's do business, which is also backed by the Observer group, Adams Creative and Business Link, runs until 5pm.
