When you're starting or trying to grow a business there are so many things to consider. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. It can be difficult to know exactly where to begin with some tasks, what the priorities should be and the best place to go to source people and tactics which can effectively help you at the most reasonable costs.
We can help you.
We have expanded our highly successful ‘121' concept to include 14 key areas of business in which you can seek advice on a one-to-one basis.
121s offer you the chance to seek the advice and knowledge of an expert while at the show. You should pre-book your session, during which you can discuss the subject in general, or how to tackle a specific issue which relates to your business or business idea.
Book for as many as you want. We'll confirm your booking a week or so before the show. Remember to tell us when you'd prefer to attend.
