Flintshire Business Week 2011 is almost here! This year’s FBW includes a two day business exhibition, on 12 and 13 October, sponsored and hosted by ConvaTec on the Deeside Industrial Park.
The Flintshire Business Exhibition is the first of its kind in North East Wales and will attract a network of business visitors and exhibitors from across North Wales and North West England.
Over two days the exhibition will deliver presentations from business leaders including the Vice-President of Hawker Beechcraft, directors from General Motors, Toyota and ConvaTec as well as leading Welsh academics. There will be factory tours to leading companies on the Deeside Industrial Park, a workshop on Understanding MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) and one-to-one coaching and mentoring sessions.
Visitors will experience a vibrant business environment with over 60 stands, offering opportunities to acquire new business techniques, listen to inspiring keynote speakers, seek expert advice, gain knowledge from other delegates and exhibitors and improve business contacts through networking.
Events there also include a full afternoon dedicated to tendering opportunities on both sides of the border and a networking session for Deeside Industrial Park and Wrexham Industrial Estate based businesses.
Jo Graham, ConvaTec’s Director of Operations in the UK, said:
“ConvaTec is proud to be hosting this two-day business exhibition, which is a first for the Flintshire Business Week. As a company, we believe that it’s important to work with the local community and to share that experience with our employees.”
Councillor Matt Wright, Executive Member for Regeneration and Tourism, said:
“I would like to thank ConvaTec for hosting such an ambitious and innovative two day event. The business exhibition is a new departure for the Flintshire Business Week, which has grown over the years and is now being recognised nationally as one of the top business events in the region. Flintshire is a county that is very much open for business and I believe that businesses are stronger when they work together.”
The exhibition will open from 9.30 am to 5.30pm, 12 and 13 October at Convatec, Drive B, First Avenue, Zone 2, Deeside Industrial Park, CH5 2NU.
