Lightning Fibre Lights Up Sussex Business Shows!
What a whirlwind of a fortnight it’s been! Lightning Fibre was thrilled to sponsor not just one - but two - fantastic local business events in early to mid-September.
First, on Wednesday 10th September 2025, we were Headline Sponsors at The Kings Centre in Eastbourne, for the inaugural Eastbourne Business Show, organised by Nick Bryant of Brilliant Businesses and Mike Monk of Mike Monk Events.
Then, just eight days later on Thursday 18th September, we were sponsor at the Worthing Better Business Show, held at the Worthing Leisure Centre, run by Worthing & Adur Chamber of Commerce.
Both events started with a networking breakfast and offered a rich mix of workshops, networking, exhibitors and expert advice - perfect for local entrepreneurs, freelancers, start ups and established businesses.
EASTBOURNE
In Eastbourne, over 70 exhibitors joined us, and there was a free seminar programme that included a session from our very own Head of Marketing, Emma Pearce, on what was a very popular talk about AI.

WORTHING
Worthing’s showcase also had over 70 local businesses exhibiting, a helpful business-support zone and even a dynamic speed-networking session – all free for attendees.

Our team will be out again in October at the Digifest Eastbourne tech conference and exhibition, where we are a lead sponsor. There are so many amazing speakers to hear from. Find out more about Digifest on 15th October in Eastbourne.
Rob Reaks, Chief Commercial Officer at Lightning Fibre, said:
“We’re so proud to have sponsored all these events – we are keen to champion both towns as dynamic, digitally-enabled locations. It’s fantastic for everyone to have the opportunity to connect face to face too.”
Huge thanks to the organisers of both events – we know these shows take a huge amount of effort!
