On 10 September 2025, Luke and Gavin from Identity Web Design attended the North Essex Business Expo 2025, hosted by Networking Essex. The event brought together businesses from across the region for a day packed with networking, inspiration, and collaboration.
Discovering the Variety of Local Businesses
One of the highlights of the day was exploring the huge variety of companies showcasing their products and services. From innovative tech firms to professional service providers and creative businesses, the expo really demonstrated the strength and diversity of the North Essex business scene.
It was inspiring to see how other organisations are approaching growth, marketing, and innovation — sparking plenty of ideas for our own work and for how we can better support our clients.
Building Connections
We spent much of the day networking, exchanging business cards, and discussing opportunities for collaboration. There were some great conversations about how we might work together with other businesses, whether that’s through future projects, partnerships, or even exchanging services.
For us, events like this aren’t just about promoting what we do — they’re about listening, learning, and building relationships that create value for everyone involved.
Why We Attend Events Like This
As a web design and development agency, we know that building a strong online presence is just one piece of the puzzle for a successful business. Attending events like the North Essex Business Expo helps us stay connected to the challenges and opportunities that local companies face — and reminds us how important collaboration and knowledge-sharing can be.
Looking Ahead
Luke and Gavin left the event energised and full of new ideas. We’re looking forward to following up with the contacts we made and seeing how we can turn those initial conversations into mutually beneficial collaborations.
A big thank you to Networking Essex for putting together such a valuable event, and to everyone who took the time to chat with us.
If you’d like to explore how Identity Web Design can help you strengthen your online presence — whether you met us at the expo or not — we’d love to hear from you.
