The Business Show UK returns to London for its 25th year and 55th edition
The Business Show UK
In 2025, The Business Show UK marks 25 years at the centre of British business. Taking place at Excel London, this will be the 55th edition of the show—bringing together new founders, seasoned entrepreneurs and industry experts for two days of new insights, live discussion, and real opportunity.
The way we build businesses has changed. Social media drives product discovery, marketing is more personal, and the path from idea to market has become shorter and faster. The Business Show 2025 reflects that. It’s a meeting point for modern founders, but also experienced entrepreneurs, and investors who are backing new ideas and fresh approaches.
This year’s speaker lineup features voices like Touker Suleyman, best known as a long-standing investor on BBC’s Dragons’ Den, brings decades of hands-on experience in fashion, retail and manufacturing. He’ll share what investors are actually looking for in 2025, and how entrepreneurs can stand out in a competitive funding landscape.
Olivia Hanlon, the founder of Girls in Marketing, leads the UK’s largest community-driven platform for women in the marketing industry. With a growing network of over 250,000 marketers, Olivia has built a brand rooted in education, accessibility and inclusion. She’ll be breaking down how modern marketing is being redefined by community, culture and content.
Harvey Armstrong, the co-founder of Prime Time Beers and former Made in Chelsea star, has quickly become a familiar face in the consumer brand world. He’ll be talking about how he took Prime Time from concept to shelf—disrupting a traditional industry by focusing on health-conscious products, digital storytelling and influencer-led growth.
Across two packed days, dozens more innovators, investors and founders will take the stage to share what’s working right now in modern business—from AI to eCommerce, branding to bootstrapping.
Attendees can also take part in live masterclasses, seminars and fast-paced speed networking sessions built to help you meet other entrepreneurs, investors, or even your next business collaboration or partnership – the opportunities are endless, it really is the ultimate opportunity to fill your book of contacts in less than an hour.
Across the venue, hundreds of UK-based exhibitors will be showcasing services, tools, platforms and products designed to help companies grow—from legal and finance to tech, marketing, hiring and expansion.
As the show hits its 25-year mark, it’s a platform that continues to adapt, focused on real business, real learning and real outcomes. Whether you’re building your first start-up or scaling your tenth, this year’s Business Show is built to move with you.
