Southend-on-Sea City Council is celebrating the success of this yearβs Southchurch Business Expo, which brought together local businesses, entrepreneurs and community groups to share ideas, build connections and strengthen the cityβs business community.
The 2025 event, the third of its kind, was organised by the Councilβs Biz-on-Sea team in partnership with Project Southchurch, and hosted at Southend Christian Fellowship - SCF Plaza. Local company Kursaal Plant Hire Ltd sponsored this yearβs expo, which saw dozens of exhibitors and visitors take part.
The expo offered a vibrant business marketplace, showcasing the wide range of services, products, and talent within Southend, while providing practical advice and networking opportunities for new and established businesses alike.
Cllr Matt Dent, cabinet member for Business, Culture, Music & Tourism, said: βItβs fantastic to see the Southchurch Business Expo go from strength to strength. Events like this are vital in helping local businesses grow, connect, and share opportunities, and the enthusiasm in the room shows just how strong Southendβs business community is.
βIβd like to thank Project Southchurch, our hosts at Southend Christian Fellowship, and sponsors Kursaal Plant Hire Ltd for their continued support in helping our cityβs businesses navigate success.β
If you missed the Southchurch event, thereβs still time to get involved. The Leigh-on-Sea Business Expo will take place on Tuesday 21 October, from 08.00 to 12.00 at Belfairs Methodist Church Hall.
