Middlewich Business Expo

Fiona Bruce MP praises Middlewich Business Expo
Fiona Bruce MP attended the Middlewich Business Expo recently and was impressed by the number of businesses present and the organisation of the event, she said:
“I congratulate East Cheshire Chamber of Commerce and Middlewich Town Council for organising a highly successful event; Middlewich and the surrounding area is an excellent place and with the recently announced Government proposals to improve access to and from Junction 17 of the M6, it will be an even more attractive place to do business as time goes on.”
David Watson, Chief Executive of the East Cheshire Chamber of Commerce said of the event “The Middlewich Expo went extremely well and was a fantastic example of the success of partnership working between the Chamber and Cheshire East Council. I would like to thank Jacqueline Wilson who was invaluable in organising the event and hope many businesses gained from the event and that another business expo can be arranged in the future.”
Jonathan Williams, Middlewich Town Clerk, said “This was the first business exhibition held in Middlewich and Middlewich Vision was very pleased to host it; receiving excellent support from Cheshire East and Cheshire West & Chester Councils, Cheshire East Chamber of Commerce and Pochin Plc.
It is important for Middlewich, being located at the junction of the two local authorities , to be able to interface with the towns of Winsford and Northwich, so it was good to see several high profile companies from these towns taking a full part in the day, linking in to the Weaver Valley Partnership, who were also very welcome attended
The attendance was excellent and we were very impressed with the quality of the presentations and exhibitions. There was a lot of networking, and many good ideas were exchanged about future use of the Civic Hall as a venue to business.
We are grateful, as ever, to our MP Fiona Bruce, for supporting the event, and for opening proceedings in such a positive and encouraging manner, setting the tone for a highly productive and enjoyable day of business in Middlewich.”
