NEARLY 50 companies have already signed up as exhibitors at the Huntingdonshire Business Fair 2012, which takes place next month.

The fair, which is organised jointly by Cambridgeshire Chambers of Commerce and the Huntingdonshire branch of the Federation of Small Businesses, is sponsored by Purple Haze VA, Alconbury Airfield owners Urban and Civic and The Hunts Post.

FSB chairman Malcolm Lyons said he was confident that the number of exhibitors would exceed 100 before the annual event opens at Wood Green Animal Shelter in Godmanchester on Thursday April 19 between 11am and 4pm.
