THE Burgess Hill Business Parks Association will stage its biennial showcase event in May.

Burgess Hill Means Business, now in its ninth year, will once again offer local organisations the opportunity to promote their service offerings and products, while also providing engaging talks and seminars from local businessmen and women.

“Our Burgess Hill Means Business exhibit has always been about celebrating the talent and vibrancy of the local community,” said newly-appointed chairman of the BHBPA, Susan Fleet.

“We’ve worked hard to reinvigorate BHMB and look forward to continuing our long-standing tradition of bringing together the diverse and brilliant business people from Burgess Hill and beyond.”

The reinvigorated BHMB will take place after the success of the inaugural BHBiz Awards last year, when more than 300 members of the Mid Sussex business community recognised the extraordinary achievements of local companies and their employees.

This year, the event will feature a new layout as well as new media sponsors.

Peter Liddell, BHBPA co-ordinator, added: “Every year, the Burgess Hill business community grows and with it, the diversity of our association increases. It’s a very exciting time and I’m very much looking forward to seeing what’s new at this year’s exhibition.”

The Burgess Hill Means Business exhibit will take place at the King’s Centre, Burgess Hill on Friday 4 May between 11AM and 3PM.

Entrance is free on presentation of a business card.
