“Showcase on Wiveliscombe and 10 Parishes“ was held on Saturday 26 April at Kingsmead and highlighted the diverse range of thriving businesses in our area.
Over 40 local businesses packed the Sports Hall for a great day of displays and demonstrations – appealing to the public and other businesses alike.
The very first Showcase provided a great opportunity to discover some of the more unusual businesses hidden within our area, as well as your favourites.
Exhibitors included every kind of business, from artistic illustrators, photographers, jewellery and even mapping… to local sawmills, engineers, building supplies and electrical services.
From therapists, fitness, dance and health products to care and products for the elderly – and not forgetting your pets.
From housebuilders, estate agents and solicitors to biomass energy. From websites to newspapers, plus local business support, apprenticeships and courses, along with WAP and In the Mix. There was something for everyone.
The entertainments included very popular professional cookery demos and valuations by Antiques Roadshow expert Christopher Hampton.
Local musicians including Johnny Mars, Jon Maybey, Reuben Katz and friends on piano, plus Fodo and Louise Toomer provided some wonderful music – and a great background for a spot of business networking too.
Plus there was delicious local food and drink to sample – including both our local breweries, Cotleigh and Exmoor.
Showcase was kindly sponsored by Porter Dodson solicitors and Taunton Deane Borough Council.
Many thanks to everyone who supported us, Exhibitors, Sponsors, entertainers, the fabulous team from the Zambia exchange scheme at Kingsmead, who provided teas coffees and cake – and who also helped with all the setting up.
Plus of course, the members of our Marketing subgroup who worked tirelessly to organise the event.
