Training academy backs business growth in Hampshire
A leading upskilling academy has partnered with one of Hampshire’s biggest regional business shows to help connect and grow businesses in the region.
Step8Up Academy has been named as a headline sponsor for this year’s Hampshire Business Show taking place on Thursday 22nd October 2026 at The Ageas Bowl.
Step8Up works to close skills gaps across IT, soft skills, coding and more by delivering training to businesses and individuals across Hampshire and beyond. Jeev and his team will be collaborating with the events team at the Show to enhance guests’ experience and best showcase businesses exhibiting on the day.
Founder of Hampshire Business Show Josh Mitchell said: “It’s great to have Jeev and his team supporting us this year. Step8Up makes a difference through education and upskilling – something we’re big supporters of at the Hampshire Business Show. I first met Jeev when he exhibited at the show last year and it’s a pleasure to welcome him back as a sponsor this time. I’m looking forward to seeing what we can achieve together.”
CEO Jeev Sahoo said: “We’ve made the jump from exhibitor to sponsor thanks to the success of our involvement last year. This is the start of a long-term strategic partnership which will help both exhibitors and attendees see real benefit. Our sponsorship means we can play an active role in supporting Hampshire’s business leaders to make connections, develop new skills and drive future growth. Josh and I have already discussed some exciting plans to make this year’s show the best yet and ensure every attendee gets as much as they can out of the day.”
