What a day it was!

On 23 October 2025, the very first BoB York Business Expo opened its doors at Forest Park Golf Club and filled the room with energy. From the early morning networking to the lively conversations across the exhibition floor, the event was alive with collaboration, learning and genuine connection across the BoB Clubs Yorkshire community and our wider business family.

We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who joined us, from exhibitors and visitors to our wonderful speakers. Your energy and enthusiasm made the event everything we hoped it would be and more.

We were lucky to have David Charles Photography documenting the day. His fantastic shots captured everything from start to finish and showcase the friendly buzz, the laughter and the meaningful conversations that made the day so special.

A Word from Our Founder

“I am delighted with our collaborative effort. As I watched the room come alive at our first BoB York Business Expo, I was both proud and admittedly relieved. It was our first time and while we were confident and invested in our shared success, we simply didn’t know what to expect. However, as the first guests gathered and the enthusiasm and interest grew, it became apparent that today would show exactly what happens when good people come together with open minds and shared purpose.

BoB has always been about building relationships that last and supporting each other to grow. This Expo proved that Yorkshire businesses thrive when we build on friendship. I can’t wait to see where this momentum takes us next.”

– Nick Turnbull, Co-Founder and Director, BoB Clubs Yorkshire
