Last week (3 October) saw OxLEP Business and its SME community come together at the University of Oxford’s Examination Schools on the city’s High Street for a special, celebratory event highlighting the outstanding success of Oxfordshire business.

The OxLEP Business Marketplace and Celebration event brought together dozens of business leaders, entrepreneurs and likeminded individuals for a special meeting. It was an opportunity for organisations to network, as well as showcase their products and services – many of which have been further advanced thanks to support delivered by OxLEP Business.

The event was rounded-off with a special awards ceremony, celebrating the success and achievement of businesses who have been supported by OxLEP Business since April 2022, through to the present day.

Following a heavily-subscribed nominations process, a total of eight businesses were recognised for their outstanding work and contributions across several respective areas – from social responsibility through to export potential.
