Greater Manchester Business Fair
Showcasing and supporting Manchester businesses since 2011!
We first held Greater Manchester Business Fair at Salford University in 2011. In 2012, the Fair relocated to the newly opened AJ Bell Stadium (now re-named Salford Community Stadium) and has been held there annually ever since.
40-50 exhibitors and hundreds of business visitors from a variety of sectors attend the event, which has been sponsored by Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce, Epson and Network Rail.
