Flintshire Business Week team announces major business to business event

Flintshire County Council is proud to announce another first for the Flintshire Business Week (FBW) team! FBW 2011 will host what is expected to be one of the largest business to business events to be held in North Wales in recent years.

A two day business exhibition will be held on 12 – 13 October in association with ConvaTec at Deeside Industrial Park.

With the global economy still unsettled, the need to improve trading opportunities remains critical to business success. Seminars associated with the exhibition will provide help with procurement and supply chain opportunities, whilst a ‘meet the neighbour’ networking opportunity will be arranged by the Strategic Business Parks Partnership, for businesses from the Deeside and Wrexham Industrial Parks.

The exhibition is expected to attract high-profile speakers from the political and business worlds. Businesses who took part in a smaller event in 2010 influenced the decision to hold this event, and collaboration has been taking place with the adjacent councils in Wales and England, facilitated by the Mersey Dee Alliance.

Cllr Matt Wright, Executive Member for Regeneration and Tourism, said:

“Our aim is to raise the profile of the county as both ‘Open for Business’ and welcoming to investors. It is crucial that Flintshire has a strong and successful economy, and Flintshire Business Week plays a key role in helping speed the county on its way to growth, jobs and investment. It has become a major date in the local business calendar, and the FBW team works hard to make each year even better than the year before. I’m proud to announce that this year’s event will host such a major two day business exhibition and I would encourage all local businesses to ensure that they come along and get involved.”

Exhibition space costs as little as £100 + VAT per day and we are offering an early bird discount for companies booking before 15 June.
