Testimonials

Jonathan Pollinger from Intranet Future www.intranetfuture.com, explains why he exhibits at Connect Business every year:
“It’s a great way to meet existing and new clients face to face. (For visitors)…it’s an excellent opportunity to meet and get advice from local businesses and experts; all well known and respected in their fields. Plus it’s a good day for networking with other delegates. You might even pick up some business!”

Jon Leamon, Deputy Chief Executive, Cheltenham Chamber of Commerce explains why Connect Business Day is so important for the business community:
“The Cheltenham Chamber of Commerce has exhibited at Connect Business for several years, and intends to continue to do so in the future. We consider the day to be excellent value for money because it gives us the chance to meet many local small businesses, some for the first time. These businesses are the backbone of the Chamber and we are set up to help them grow, with our monthly Networking Events and Training Seminars.”
