Exhibition, Holburne 1–29 October 2025
Celebrating Bath’s innovation and creativity in business
Bath Unlimited was created on 1st October 2000, to showcase Bath and North East Somerset’s dynamic, successful, world class companies.
To celebrate the milestone Bath Unlimited is holding a free month-long exhibition at The Holburne in Bath. There will a panel for each company, designed by local agency Mytton Williams, in the museum café facing outwards so the display can be seen when walking past. Co-founder Kevin Peake said, ”The Bath Unlimited name originated from a cancelled exhibition at the Holburne during COVID and so it is great to be able to have the exhibition here to celebrate the last 5 years”.
In addition to the Bath Unlimited anniversary, 2025 also sees the milestones for some of the featured companies: Avon Technology 140 years; BMT 40 years; Canned Wine 5 years; and Future plc 40 years.
Spencer Hancock, Head of Visitor operations at Holburne, said: “I’m delighted that the museum has the opportunity to be part of Bath Unlimited, an important initiative celebrating Bath’s incredibly diverse economy. Many residents and visitors of Bath will not know that Singapore’s iconic Supertrees, the Olympic Park Stadium, Everton Football Club’s new Stadium and Southbank in London were designed by companies in Bath or that the city is home to the market leading Defence companies“
