Julie Budden, chair of the Stansted Airport Chamber of Commerce, said: “Check-in @ Stansted is the only business expo to take place at London Stansted Airport, a key gateway within a region that is growing year on year in terms of business offerings.

“People often comment on the quality of visitors and you can tell that by the return of many exhibitors since the very first exhibition that this is a true statement.”

She added: “Each year we try to add more to the exhibition to offer exhibitors, sponsors and visitors more business opportunities and free advice for both business and personal use.
