Event Organiser and Business Manager for Heritage
Lincolnshire, Hannah Thompson says, ‘Connecting
businesses is so important and to keep the work available
within our local areas is vital. To be able to bring together
local businesses and enable them to network, exhibit and
learn all under one roof is just amazing. We wanted to
make sure both events are accessible to all sizes of
businesses, encourage support from national bodies and
we want to continue that ethos as we grow even bigger
year on year. We are really looking forward to bringing this
event back to the Showground, bigger and better for
2023.’

- CPD led talks and seminars throughout the event to
develop learning and understanding within the industry.
- The Lincolnshire Chamber of Commerce Construction
and Property Network event will continue which
attracted over 80 businesses in attendance in 2022.
- Local authorities will be exhibiting to inform about their
latest economic growth and development programmes
throughout the East Midlands and how businesses can
get involved.
- Practical demonstrations of the latest equipment and
technological advances in the industry such as geophysics
