Rugby-based business vouches for value of Business Festival
"It was a truly national event, with over 77 per cent of attendees travelling from outside the region"
Applications are now open for businesses interested in running an event at the third Coventry & Warwickshire Business Festival from 11 to 21 November 2019.
Events can be about any subject or business challenge and can take any form, such as a workshop, debate, expo or event premises showcase.
Running an event at the Festival is a proven way for businesses and individuals to gain exposure as well as growing their business networks or supply chains.
Rugby-based Banksearch Information Consultancy reported excellent feedback from the event they delivered at the 2018 Festival. They ran a conference-style event which attracted more than 50 people. Entitled ‘Business Support - What Works?' the event focused on productivity challenges faced by the UK and explored how business support professionals can help to drive improvement and growth.
Amelia Armitage, Sales and Marketing Director at Banksearch said: “The feedback we received was incredible. One hundred per cent of respondents rated the event as good to excellent and said that they would encourage others to attend next year.
“It was a truly national event, with over 77 per cent of attendees travelling from outside the region and some coming from as far as Dorset, Blackpool and London.”
Craig Humphrey, managing director of the Coventry and Warwickshire LEP Growth Hub said “The Business Festival is a perfect way for individuals and organisations to put themselves in the spotlight as a leader in their industry, by running events that may address common business issues or show great examples of innovation, products or services.
“We are looking for quality events that really enhance Coventry & Warwickshire’s enviable position at the forefront of commerce, culture, knowledge and innovation in the UK.”
“Clearly, being a part of the biggest business event in the region will provide outstanding profile-raising and business growth opportunities. The event application portal is already open on the website. I would encourage everyone to take a look and see how they can get involved.
The Festival was developed by the Coventry and Warwickshire Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP), the Coventry and Warwickshire LEP Growth Hub and it is headline-partnered by Inspire Insurance.
Partners include Warwickshire County Council, Coventry University and CU Enterprises. It is sponsored by the FSB and supported by Deeleys, Coventry City of Culture, Coventry City Council and the district and borough councils of Nuneaton & Bedworth, North Warwickshire, Warwick, Rugby and Stratford.
