On 11th November Synextra attended the Halton & Warrington Business Fair for the first time, networking with local businesses and welcoming visitors from the local area and beyond. A popular B2B event since it was first held in 2008, the days consisted of plenty of opportunities to network, giving and receiving business advice, with the bonus of free seminars and workshops that proved very interesting.
Attending the event and covering the Synextra stand was Business Development Manager, Geoff Dixon and Technical Copywriter and PR, Stevie-Jay Taylor. Enjoying the day to have the opportunity to reach out to local businesses and share what Synextra has to offer, both Geoff and Stevie-Jay felt the event was a success.
Attending his first event with Synextra, Geoff said:
“The event gave me the chance to talk to so many different people about what we offer here at Synextra, getting to know their business and letting them know what we can do to help. Also, having the chance to network with the other exhibitors, getting to know about local businesses and exchanging ideas, advice and of course business cards!”
With customers all over the UK, we still believe it is important to raise our local presence as much as possible and events such as this are a great way to do so.
A word from the business fair organisers:
We spoke to one of the event organisers, Kathy Baines on the success of the Halton & Warrington Business Fair over the years:
“Liverpool BA have been running the Halton & Warrington Business Fair since 2008 and we’ve always really enjoyed the event. It’s a great way for local companies to meet, network and promote their products and services in a relaxed and friendly environment.
We always try to ensure that there’s something on offer for all types of business no matter what size or stage they’re at. One of the main features is the B2B exhibition, but maybe just as important is the fact that businesses and budding entrepreneurs can visit the event free of charge, attend informative workshops and get advice and information from business support agencies and organisations.”
Business fairs are often overlooked over networking, recruiters, dinners, the list goes on. But Halton & Warrington Business Fair is cementing their relevancy in a digital world. Find out more about the event here.
