The going was ‘good’ at Cheltenham event

24 February 2010

From the start, the seminars were busy and the sessions on online VAT services, information for self employed people and advice for those ‘new to business’ proved particular favourites with visitors on the day.

Farmers and other land-based businesses also found the special ‘Agriculture’ sessions useful, reflecting the changing nature of the local economy.

One lucky business owner-Karen Krepski of Aline Books -even took away an unexpected prize of a luxury hamper, having won Business Link South West’s special ‘Valentine’s Day’ draw.

Event organiser, Jill Poole, said she was delighted with the level of interest shown by local businesses who had kept exhibition staff busy throughout the day. ‘It was especially rewarding that so many people stopped to express their thanks; we look forward to visiting Cheltenham again in the future’.
