Meet QBD this autumn: four expos across three counties

This autumn, QBD is exhibiting at four business expos across Worcestershire, Nottinghamshire and Gloucestershire: the Chamber Business Expo in Worcester, the ScreenPop Expo in Newark, and Sterling Expo dates in both Gloucester and Worcester. Different members of the QBD team will be on each stand, ready to talk through your marketing.

Worcestershire: two stops on home ground

Worcestershire is where QBD's story began back in 2001, and it's a market we still do a great deal of work in. This autumn we'll be there twice.

First up is the Chamber Business Expo at the University of Worcester Arena on Thursday 1 October 2026. It's one of the biggest business events in the region, with over 950 visitors and 150 exhibitors expected, alongside seminars, workshops and plenty of networking.

We're back in Worcestershire on Thursday 26 November for the Sterling Worcestershire Expo at Sixways Stadium, a morning built around over 40 exclusive exhibitors and a networking breakfast and brunch.

At both events, you'll find:

• Liam Maskell, Head of Sales. Liam works with a diverse range of clients and brands across the UK, helping start-ups and established brands alike get the most from the digital products and services QBD provides. With a sales background, he's used to sitting down with a business, understanding the real challenges it faces, and working out which combination of services, whether that's a new website, branding, SEO, paid ads or ongoing digital marketing, will help it hit its goals fastest.
• Rich Brown, Head of Lead Generation. Rich has over 15 years of hands-on experience maximising what digital marketing platforms can do for lead generation and sales. Before QBD, he worked in the charity sector for organisations including Cancer Research UK and Acorns Children's Hospice. He's a qualified digital marketer, but describes himself as a practitioner first: someone who's done the jobs, not just studied them.
• Samuel Dyer, Head of Marketing. Samuel leads QBD's video marketing division, combining creative storytelling, AI-driven strategy and marketing technology to help businesses cut through a noisy digital landscape. He's a Member of the Chartered Institute of Marketing (MCIM) and also oversees QBD's own marketing operations, from campaign management to audience segmentation.

Gloucestershire

On Tuesday 20 October 2026, we're heading somewhere new: the Sterling Gloucestershire Expo at Kingsholm Stadium. Like its Worcestershire sister event, it's a morning built around over 40 exclusive exhibitors and a lively networking breakfast and brunch, and it's our first time exhibiting in the county.

Liam, Rich and Samuel will be on the stand here too, ready to talk through your website, your leads, or your marketing plans for 2027.

Gloucestershire is a market we're actively building relationships in, and events like this are exactly how we do it. Growth has never come purely from ranking well online. It comes from turning up, having the conversation, and being the business people remember when they need help.

Newark, Nottinghamshire

On Friday 9 October 2026, we're at the ScreenPop Expo, held at the Cedric Ford Pavilion, Newark Showground. It's a day built for connection, with stands from businesses across seven counties, a lineup of speakers, and a charity fundraiser, with over 200 attendees expected.

Nottinghamshire has been part of QBD's working area for a while now, and Newark gives us the chance to meet local businesses we don't always get to see on our usual patch. Representing QBD here are:

• Jack Follis, Business Growth Specialist. Jack works with a diverse range of clients to help them navigate an ever-changing online landscape, developing tailored marketing solutions that span branding, web design, SEO, content and paid ads. He's a creative first and foremost, with a background in both print and digital design.
• Dan Spencer, Head of Creative. Dan leads QBD's creative team, with a demonstrated history of working in the graphic design industry. He's skilled across the Adobe Creative Suite, graphic design and web design, and holds a Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Media from the University of Creative Arts in Maidstone.

What we'll be talking about

Alongside the usual questions on websites, leads and SEO, two things are front of mind for us this autumn.

The first is QBD Pulse, our structured, strategic and scalable monthly marketing programme, built for businesses that want consistent, done-for-you marketing rather than one-off projects. If you're thinking about what a more joined-up approach to 2027 could look like, it's worth a conversation on the stand.

The second is Atlas, the app that comes as part of QBD Pulse. Instead of waiting on a monthly PDF, Atlas puts your marketing performance on your home screen: a plain-English view of your website, search, email and social results, a Pulse Score that ranks your warmest contacts, and a monthly Insight Report written by a real growth specialist rather than generated automatically. If you've ever struggled to know whether your marketing is actually working, it's exactly the kind of thing our team can show you on the stand.

Come and find us

Four events, three counties, and a full spread of the QBD team ready to talk through your website, your leads, your brand, or wherever you're at with your marketing plans for 2027. Fancy popping by? You'll find the full details, dates and booking links for every event on our events page, or you can get in touch directly if you'd rather have a chat before then.
