Businesses in Stone will get the chance to match-make at an event later this year.
Thirty companies from across Stafford Borough have the opportunity of taking a pitch to showcase what they can offer other businesses at the annual ‘We Mean Business’ event in October. It will be held at The Moat House at Acton Trussell.
The Borough Council and Stafford Chamber of Commerce are putting on the day following previous positive feedback with many businesses saying they had secured contracts after being involved in the day.
Anyone wanting to raise the profile of their business and take an exhibition stand between 9am and 1pm on Thursday 15 October can book online at www.staffordbc.gov.uk/wmb But people looking to network with other members of the business community, as well as take advantage of advice and talks on offer throughout the day, can come along for free.
The talks include getting the best from on-line marketing by ExtraMile Communications and different ways available to finance your business by the Stoke and Staffordshire Business Support Helpline. Local solicitors, Pickering and Butters, will be advising on business matters including employment law, commercial law and property law and local enterprise agency, Stafford Enterprise will be providing advice to people wishing to set up in business.
Councillor Frances Beatty, Cabinet Member for Planning and Regeneration at the Borough Council, said: “You don’t want to miss out on a great opportunity for networking, and getting people to understand what your business does, in a cost effective way. But not only is it a great platform for your company, the event also provides some important information and tips for those who may be looking to start up or grow their business.”
