THE HEATHROW BUSINESS SUMMIT
(FORMERLY MEET THE BUYER EVENT)
If you’re a Heathrow business looking to meet new
suppliers and sub-contractors that can enhance your supply
chain then the annual Heathrow Business Summit is a must
attend event for you. The summit was conceived 17 years
ago in recognition of the central role that Heathrow plays in
connecting SMEs with new business opportunities through
its own supply chain, around the airport and across the
world. The aim is to help SMEs understand where these
opportunities lie and how to access them.
Over the last nine years the event has generated £11 million
for businesses in the region and offers an extremely cost-
effective way of generating new leads and customers.
