Sefton Businesses get Networking!

BUSINESSES in Southport were treated to a fantastic opportunity to network, when the Lancashire Business Fair came to town. Ok, some did make jokes about the name, as Southport is in Merseyside, but really it was no laughing matter. This was a key and unmissable opportunity for local businesses to mix and discuss the market. The event which took place at the Southport Floral Hall and Theatre Complex on Marine Drive, Southport on 28 February 2006, and proved to be a huge success. A diverse spread of businesses were represented, ranging from

Copier Sales to BUPA, who offer a Cash Plan service. Also on offer was advice for businesses and also start ups from the BRE Northwest, Sefton Business Chamber* of Commerce and Industry, the Federation Of Small Businesses (FSB) and others similar ilk. Local transport experts, Liverpool Airport were on hand, letting people know about airtravel connections in the region, and our favourite stand, courtesy of Letsgowifi, the WiFi Hotspot stand!

There were freebies on offer from food and drinks to promotional gifts being offered from the 50 exhibitors. You could even try your hand at surveillance, in a surveillance van parked outside!
