East Yorkshire Business Expo 2014
On the 1st October I shall be attending the East Yorkshire Business Expo 2014 at the Mercure Grange Park Hotel, Willerby.
The expo opens at 10am and there will be over 100 local businesses exhibiting, with many more expected to be attending. I am aiming to be there for about 10am, to get my name down for the morning’s speed networking session. I hope to make some more local business contacts.
So if you see me about, please come and say hello.
