County companies’ marketing meeting is “the place to be”

Worcestershire’s countywide business network has been hailed as “the place to be for local businesses” following another successful breakfast event (Tuesday, March 20).

Finditinworcestershire’s latest breakfast and networking meeting, themed ‘Maximise Your Marketing’, attracted more than 110 delegates to Worcester Warriors’ Sixways Stadium on Tuesday, March 20.

The free event featured an in-depth presentation from Jenny Long, Managing Director of IceBlue Marketing & Design Ltd, that demystified modern marketing tools such as QR Codes, social media, viral campaigns and search engine optimisation (SEO).

The visitors from companies all around the county also took part in an open networking session with their fellow business owners, directors and senior managers, alongside a range of exhibition stands and a complimentary breakfast.

‘Maximise Your Marketing’ followed last month’s hugely successful meeting, which marked Finditinworcestershire’s first birthday and welcomed approximately 250 delegates. With more than 2,400 members registered since its 2011 launch, Finditinworcestershire organisers say it’s the place to be for local businesses, both in person and online.

Kathryn Wagstaff, Project Manager of Finditinworcestershire, said: “We’re delighted with yet another strong turn-out. Finditinworcestershire has rapidly become an essential resource for local businesses to get involved with. More than 400 contract opportunities worth at least £20 million have been posted on our website, so – whether it’s in person at our monthly meetings or online via our website – Finditinworcestershire is the place to be for local business.”

The next Finditinworcestershire breakfast and networking meeting will be focussed on construction and will offer delegates the chance to ‘meet the buyer’ from a number of major contractors. Free places for the event on Tuesday 17 April are available to book online now.

Finditinworcestershire was developed by Worcestershire County Council and aims to boost the county’s economy by giving local businesses the support and contacts they need to pitch for, and win, more and bigger contracts – and to 'match-make' local businesses that can trade with each other.
