Would you like to learn how to make your business more successful?

On Thursday 9 October 2008, the first Salford Business Support Showcase is taking place at the Innovation Forum on Frederick Road.  There will also be ample networking opportunities for businesses attending the event.

John Wilkinson OBE will open the event and introduce each of the eleven business support partners on the day.  These are:

• Business Link North West
• Business Support Solutions
• Chapel Street Business Group
• Charlestown and Lower Kersal New Deal for Communities
• Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce
• Innovation Forum
• Northwest Regional Development Agency
• Salford City Council
• Salford Hundred Venture
• University of Salford
• UK Trade & Investment

Businesses will be able to visit all of the support partners’ stands and find out exactly what help and assistance is available to them, and, more importantly, what they need to do to access that support.  The event is aimed at businesses (or those thinking of starting a business) in and around the Salford area.  Limited companies, sole traders, social enterprises, not-for-profit businesses are all welcome.

In addition, businesses will have an opportunity to network with other businesses on the day and also take part in a unique speed networking session, which will be facilitated by Mark Simpson of Simpson Burgess Nash.  Mark has been networking for over ten years and is one of the best business networkers in the North West.  After the introductions Mark will share his top tips on how to network effectively and those wishing to join the speed networking session can do so between 10.30am and 11.30am.

Salford Business Support Showcase is free to attend and those interested should either call 0161 278 2519 or email events@innovation-forum.co.uk to register.
