Our 2024 Business Showcase last week was a roaring success with a knockout guest speaker: Team GB Olympian Boxer and Paris 2024 Bronze Medallist Lewis Richardson 🥉 🥊

Lewis shared his impressive journey to the Olympics, touching on mindset, challenges, and his plans for the future in a way that resonated with business professionals—though maybe not all of us could handle the pressure and discipline of dropping KGs to make weight for a boxing match! The audience was captivated, with many insightful questions, though we couldn’t get to all of them. It’s safe to say Lewis is an incredible ambassador for Colchester!

This event was one of our best yet. We’re already looking forward to next year!

Huge thanks to all our incredible exhibitors: Fellowship, Prettys, INTELICALL LIMITED, Paddy & Scott’s, Mr.Wheeler Wine, Evolve Business Solutions (EA) Limited, Inchcape plc, LOCALiQ_UK, AT&A Andrew Thompson & Associates, Fenwick, Bottleproof Cocktails Ltd, Esign Media, Ingleton Wood, John Pierce.

This year, we spotlighted Ormiston Families who shared moving stories of families affected by imprisonment, and how they provide support through fundraising and sponsorships. Reach out Gavin Lamb MCIOF(Dip) to continue the conversation!

Jonathan Reed from Paddy & Scott’s also reflected on their first year since the MBO, along with the launch of our collaborative Milsom Signature Coffee Blend, now available at all our properties.

Talbooth Spa & Milsom Catering showcased their latest offerings, including Elemis Gift Sets, excellent canapés and hospitality, supported by a delicious cocktail from Bottleproof Cocktails Ltd and wine from Higham Vineyard.

Contact Sue Tasker if you’re interested in exhibiting for 2025!
