Brighton & Hove Business Show attracts record turnout of visitors

Event surpassed all expectations with hundreds attending the annual event at the Amex Stadium.

Poor weather failed to put a damper on the 2025 Brighton & Hove Business Show. Well over 330 people attended the event as visitors on June 5, making it the most successful in the show’s history.

Organiser Mike Monk overcame obstacles, including last-minute lounge changes, to pull off a perfect day of networking.

He hosted an early morning business breakfast, staged ahead of the show, and welcomed April Baker, CEO of Together Co, as the guest speaker.

Later, when it was time to open the stadium’s doors to show visitors, he was joined by Claire Catliff, of Love Luxury Events. Claire has provided outstanding ‘meet and greet’ reception services at the show for several years and is integral to its smooth-running and success.

The 2025 event saw exhibition stands fill two lounges.

New for 2025 were interactive show passes, each with a unique QR code which allowed exhibitors and visitors to create a digital record of their day.

“It was a fantastic event,” said Mike. “The number of visitors was well up on last year, in spite of poor weather. The show attracted the highest number of visitors ever.”

He added: “I would like to thank all the exhibitors as well as those who turned up on the day to make new connections and be part of this growing event. It was a spectacular day.”

Mike extended his thanks to this year’s speakers – Andrew Wright, of Action Your Potential, Brandon Harris, a certified EOS implementer, James Armstrong, of Social Firefly, and Alex Ryan, of Marketing 101.

Howie McConnell, of 28th Street Media, once again provided photographic and video coverage of the event.

Mike Monk Events, in partnership with supporting organisations, is staging Eastbourne Business Show in September and Gatwick Business Show in October.
