BDC is excited to announce plans are underway to cultivate new commercial partnerships as part of an ongoing strategy that builds on its existing interconnected community of businesses.

The venue, which has historically thrived in bringing together leading organisations across its showroom and office spaces, alongside a portfolio of over one hundred events annually, now looks to the future, in further developing its network through aligned partners.
The partnerships programme will be led by consultant Jonathan Neill working in collaboration with the Executive Team at the BDC. Neill draws on over 25 years’ sponsorship and partnership experience working with major brands, venues and events such as The O2, Visit Britain, Barclays and Excel London – with the latter announcing four new commercial partners in 2025.
BDC Chief Commerical Officer, Max Bull comments on the plans,
“This exciting programme builds on our existing suppliers to the venue and industry by bringing on board like-minded organisations that will work together to not only expand opportunities but also enrich the wider network of companies we support.
Through our work with Jonathan, we endeavour to form partnerships that go beyond traditional alliances, aiming to create real, mutual value by welcoming brands into our unique onsite community.”
Neill expands,
“Business Design Centre has a rich history with strong emotional connections to its stakeholders, including its vibrant showroom community and an annual attendee audience of nearly one million.
Our objective is to create true partnerships for the venue that align with the organisation's values and culture, drive growth and contribute to mutual objectives.”
The B Corp Certified Business Design Centre continues into the latter part of the year, with back-to-back events, including those, which perfectly demonstrate the synergy between showrooms and exhibitions, with both LiGHT25 and the HIX Event still to come.
