Fabulous atmosphere, location and opportunity to meet some great people and businesses! As a sponsor at the event, couldn’t have asked for more! Can’t wait until next years!”

“What a fabulous and productive event! The Big Business Event was buzzing, so many useful contacts and ample time to make sure we had meaningful discussions. Hannah and Deborah ran the event very efficiently with everything we needed under one roof. I’d highly recommend a stand there for great value for money and maximum impact in meeting new potential clients, future collaborators and maintaining existing relationships. A must do addition to your calendar!”
