OxLEP Business Marketplace and Celebration 2024

OxLEP Business is delighted to be hosting a Marketplace and Celebration this year in October 2024, delivered with support from the Institute of Directors.

Designed to bring together and celebrate Oxfordshire’s business community, this event will showcase the Oxfordshire SMEs that have been supported by OxLEP Business since April 2022 in both a Marketplace and an Awards evening.

Please note this is an invitation only event due to limited numbers but any business in Oxfordshire which has had support from OxLEP Business since April 2022 can enter the awards and express an interest in having a marketplace exhibitor place. If you would like to do so, please email [email protected]

If you are interested in becoming an event supporter for the Marketplace and Celebration 2024, please email [email protected] for more information.
