It's Back
Last year was amazing. Let's do it again.
The Hinton Workspace Business Expo, sponsored by South West Wills & Probate, brings together business owners, entrepreneurs, professionals and organisations from across Dorset and beyond.
This isn't a traditional business exhibition. It's a chance to meet people face to face, discover businesses you didn't know were on your doorstep, hear useful ideas and start conversations that could lead somewhere brilliant.
And the feedback spoke for itself.
“Fantastic atmosphere, interesting businesses, lots of chances for face to face interaction.”
“I learnt lots, rekindled some relationships and made some new connections. Time well spent!”
Backed by brilliant businesses
