BOB Expo Liverpool Postponement
We sincerely regret to announce the postponement of the BOB Expo Liverpool event,
originally scheduled for March 23rd, 2024. We extend our apologies to all those affected by
this decision, including attendees, exhibitors, sponsors, partners and supporters.
The decision to postpone this event was made after careful consideration of the current
circumstances. As an organisation, our top priority is to ensure that we provide our exhibitors
and attendees with an unparalleled shopping experience that showcases the products and
services of black-owned businesses to the highest possible standard. In light of recent
changes to our core team, we’re currently unable to do so and believe rescheduling is the
most responsible course of action.
While we understand the disappointment this may bring, we are committed to delivering an
exceptional event that exceeds your expectations on the new date of Saturday, 7th
September 2024. This additional time will allow us to enhance our preparations and ensure
that the event is nothing short of extraordinary. We are immensely grateful for your patience
and understanding as we navigate this transition.
Our teams are working tirelessly to make the rescheduled event a resounding success.
For any inquiries or concerns regarding the postponement or the rescheduled event, please
contact info@bobexpo.co.uk.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
