🎉 Merseyshare Day 2026 🎉 

Something New is Coming to Merseyside

Merseyside businesses are entering one of the biggest shifts in UK supply chains and procurement in decades — The new procurement Act comits public sector buyers to procuring from local, sustainable, SME's.  Naturally then, organisations who lean into local, sustainable, fair and visible business practices are the ones securing the strongest opportunities.

Merseyshare Day isn’t just a celebration — it’s your chance to get ahead of the county’s next wave of growth.

Be in the room as we bring together Merseyside’s most forward‑thinking businesses, charities and public‑sector partners for a morning of connection, inspiration and county pride.  Discover how other NW counties are already using our model to win work, strengthen supply chains, keep more business local, all while building a greener, fairer economy through the power of sharing.

Join us to celebrate Merseyside Day and the launch of Merseyshare, the counties very own digital ecosystem designed to keep more money, opportunity and impact within the county of Merseyside.

Merseyshare joins, Lancashare, Mancheshare, Cumbriashare, Yorkshare and more UK counties in sharing and creating a national network of local supply chains.  Will you be part of the founding 100 in your county?  Book your place on Merseyshare Day to network, celebrate and find out more.

🌍 Why Attend?

Because the landscape is changing — fast.

Becasue we don't want you to get left behind.

Because we're bringing something new to Merseyside - a globally unique, nationally recognised innovation.

The new Procurement Act is reshaping how public bodies buy.  Sustainability and social value expectations for SME's are rising.  Local supply chains are becoming more important than ever.  How do SME's get ready to be part of the UK's Sustainable Supply Chain?   Join us on Merseyshare Day to find out how our model is helping.

Imagine a Merseyside where:

• Thousands of businesses share opportunities, not just a postcode
• Local suppliers are prioritised, visible, and winning
• Local tenders, funding, talent and more is shared regularly
• Collaboration replaces competition across your region
• Growth is greener, fairer and more inclusive (with rewards)
• And the economic benefit stays right here, on your doorstep

That’s the vision behind GB Shared — the UK’s first and only county‑level, sustainable marketplace, born by business and now a nationally recognised innovation.
