The expo is always a highlight of the year for us here at KCM.

“The annual Chamber Means Business exhibition has become one of the most anticipated exhibitions on the local business calendar, we are celebrating our tenth year of this event and are thrilled to once again be back at the New York Stadium, home of Championship bound Rotherham United, on Thursday, 15^th September.

“The event is a great opportunity to showcase our exhibitors and sponsors, without who we would not be able to provide such an exciting platform to champion our local businesses and members who join us on the day.

“All stand spaces are already sold out and we are expecting a fantastic footfall on the day, with the occasion remaining a free-to-attend event for all visitors.
