TBF 14th April at Arena Torquay

The Torbay Business Forum returns to ARENA Torquay, our fantastic multi-purpose event space in the heart of the Bay. 

Tuesday 14th April 2026
7:45am – 9:30am 

Join us for a high-impact morning of networking, insight and business connection as we bring together Torbay’s vibrant business community once again.

This Tuesday’s Torbay Business Forum will feature the outcomes from the economic impact study and what that means for your business— and you’ll hear it first.

Torbay Council, Willmott Dixon, and Milligan will take to the stage to update on the economic impact survey results of Torbay’s ambitious regeneration programme. This session offers the first opportunity to see how the area’s transformational projects will benefit local businesses, strengthen communities and boost the wider economy.

The forum will also hear from Ben Tisdall, Festival Director of the inaugural Torbay Literary Festival – Books on the Beach, taking place 10th – 16th August 2026, who will share insight into this exciting new cultural addition to the Bay.

This meeting is kindly sponsored by Gold: Team Factors and Silver: Bishop Fleming – thank you for your support!
