Summing up this year’s Flintshire Business Week 2011, Councillor Matt Wright said:
“I am so proud of all that we have achieved this year. In its five year history, Flintshire Business Week has always been a successful event, but this year’s has been the best yet. We have been overwhelmed at the level of interest and support from businesses attending. I’d like to thank the organising staff, partners and local businesses for embracing this initiative.
“Now, more than ever, it’s vital that companies have a platform to network and share ideas and that’s what Flintshire Business Week is all about. This year’s record attendances just go to prove that, despite challenging economic times, our county is holding its own, and we can be proud that Flintshire is open for business.”
