OxLEP Business Marketplace and Celebration 2024
OxLEP Business was delighted to host a Marketplace and Celebration in October 2024, delivered with support from our awards sponsors and event supporters.
The event was designed to bring together and celebrate Oxfordshire’s business community, showcasing the Oxfordshire SMEs that had been supported by OxLEP Business since April 2022 through both a Marketplace and an Awards evening.
