On Wednesday 1st April, we had the pleasure of being part of Business Fest South West 2026 at Westpoint Arena—and what a fantastic day it was!
From the moment the doors opened, the energy in the room was incredible. With over 200 exhibitors and thousands of ambitious business owners, entrepreneurs and professionals in attendance, it truly lived up to its reputation as one of the South West’s leading business events.
A Real Buzz Around the G12 Stand
Our stand was busy throughout the day, with a steady flow of conversations, introductions and opportunities. It was great to meet so many new faces—people genuinely keen to connect, collaborate and grow their businesses.
We also had the chance to catch up with familiar faces from the G12 community, which is always a highlight. Events like this really reinforce what G12 is all about—building meaningful relationships that go beyond just swapping business cards.
Quality Conversations & New Opportunities
One of the standout aspects of BizFest is the quality of conversations. This isn’t just a “walk around and collect flyers” type of event—it’s a place where real business gets done.
We spoke to businesses from a wide range of sectors, all looking to move forward, find new opportunities and build partnerships. The appetite for collaboration across the South West is clearly stronger than ever.
Learning, Networking & Inspiration
Alongside the networking, there was a full programme of workshops, speakers and insights being shared throughout the day. The event is designed not just to connect people, but to inspire and educate too—and it certainly delivered.
A Big Thank You
A huge thank you to everyone who came over to say hello, took part in our conversations, or booked time to connect with us on the day. We really appreciate the support.
And of course, credit to the organisers for putting together such a well-run, high-energy event that continues to grow year on year.
See You at the Next One!
BizFest once again proved why it’s become a key date in the South West business calendar. If you didn’t make it this year, we’d highly recommend getting it in the diary for next time.
In the meantime, if we met at the event—or if you’d like to find out more about G12 and how we can support your business—feel free to get in touch. We’d love to continue the conversation.
