What a lovely way to start the day! ☀️

Mel and Roxy had a fantastic morning at the Sedgemoor FM Networking Breakfast. It was great catching up with so many familiar faces while hearing four inspiring students share their experiences of work placements and how local employers have helped them build confidence and valuable skills.

A big thank you to Neil Fellowes, Tracey Matthews and everyone who made the morning such a success. It was also brilliant to see Roger from Sedgemoor Chamber (aka gob on a stick!), Rose & Garry from Timeless Images, and so many other friendly faces from our local business community.

Events like these remind us why we love being part of Somerset's business community. 💛

What you don't always see at an Expo...

The early starts.
The last-minute fixes.
The pop-up that doesn't quite pop up.
The WiFi dramas.
The charging leads borrowed from neighbouring stands.

And somewhere in the middle of it all, Darren capturing the moments that we'd otherwise miss.

There's a lot that goes into a day like this, but it's always worth it when you meet so many fantastic people and come away buzzing with ideas.

The real MVP of the Somerset Business Expo? 🍪🐝

You might think it was our spin wheel. Or our gorgeous Sopha sofa. Or even our Expo stand...

But we're pretty sure it was the cookie station!

A huge shout out to Roxy, who took her role of keeping the biscuits topped up very seriously. Judging by the number of empty trays throughout the day, we'd say it was a roaring success.

Who knew fresh ideas and fresh cookies were the secret ingredients for great networking?

Another fabulous Friday at Sedgemoor FM Networking 🎉

Thank you so much to Neil Fellowes for hosting a such a buzzing event full of fabulous businesses and lots of energy in the room. A little shout out to Karen Wellman for picking our business card out the hat (and no, it was not planned Roger Smith - we'll pay you later Karen 😉🫢).

Lots of great chats and meetings booked in.

Great to meet Hardknox CIC Ben Walker & Bobby 🙌, excited to learn more about the business.

Thank you to Paul Newman of Hilton Ames (Somerset) Ltd for your time on Friday, fascinating learning about your journey and story. Looking forward to seeing how we can help.

And again to Karen Wellman, exciting times ahead for you! Looking forward to working with you again 🥳

Lovely to see everyone, even if we didn't get around to talking to you all.

The Two40 Electrical crew has expanded to three branded vehicles 🙌, but more importantly, this is a share that is definitely worth shouting about. A new defibrillator installed today by the Two40electrical team at Berrow Village Hall.

It's taken us a few days to reflect on the Somerset Business Expo and one thing stands out...

People.

The people who helped us.
The people we worked with.
The people who stopped for a chat.

Thank you to everyone who made the day so special, from rescuing our WiFi to helping put up our stand and everyone who came to see us.

Most of all, thank you to our amazing clients for trusting us with your businesses. It really does mean the world.

💛

One of our favourite parts of the Somerset Business Expo was seeing our clients shine. ✨

It's such a proud moment seeing projects we've worked on come to life.

A special congratulations to Karen and the Solace Business Management Ltd team on their 5th birthday and a big shout out to Jatech, who trusted us with a complete brand and Expo package on a very tight deadline!

It was lovely catching up with so many other clients and friends throughout the day too. Thank you for letting us be part of your journey.

🦷 One of the best things about the Somerset Business Expo? The people you meet.

We had the pleasure of chatting with Adam from Supernova Dental and it was great to hear about the passion behind the business and the difference they're making for their patients.

One of the things we love most about events like the Expo is that the conversations don't end when the doors close. We're really looking forward to popping in for a visit this week and learning more about the Supernova Dental team and their journey.

Here's to making great connections and supporting brilliant local businesses. ☕🐝

See you soon, Adam!

🐝 What a day!

We've finally caught our breath after the Somerset Business Expo and what a fantastic event it was.

Our wheel didn't stop spinning, the 'Sopha' sofa was rarely empty, and we had some brilliant conversations with businesses about their goals and the challenges they're facing.

The best bit? Lots of those chats are continuing over coffee over the next few weeks.

Thank you to everyone who popped by for a chat, a cookie or a spin of the wheel. We can't wait to catch up again soon!
