Staffordshire’s business community came together in force on 9 October 2025 as Let’s Do Business, the county’s largest annual business exhibition, returned to Uttoxeter Racecourse.
The Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce event was their most-attended yet with more than 1,000 delegates and 160 exhibitors who filled the halls, creating a day buzzing with networking, opportunity, and inspiration.
The Final Furlong Marquee set the stage for a series of keynote talks from some of Staffordshire’s most recognisable figures. Entrepreneur and double Chamber Business Awards winner Mo Chaudry delivered The Champions’ Code, sharing insights on resilience and high performance, while former Stoke City Women’s captain Meg Bowyer and British Middleweight Champion Nathan “Hitman” Heaney inspired delegates with stories of leadership and local pride.
ARC’s Uttoxeter stand in Hall B was a highlight in itself, welcoming around 200 delegates – its highest footfall to date. The team spoke to attendees, captured new contacts, and showcased how a well-planned, welcoming space can drive engagement during a busy expo.
The lead organiser at Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce, said: "Let’s Do Business continues to showcase the very best of Staffordshire’s business community. Tickets and stands sold at record speed this year, and the energy and optimism for this event was remarkable."
For event planners, the takeaways are clear: combining the right venue with high-profile speakers, a strong exhibitor mix, and plenty of opportunities for meaningful connections can transform a one-day expo into a record-breaking event.
Let’s Do Business 2025 showed that with careful planning and a focus on attendee experience, even a local business expo can leave a big impression.
