Exhibitor Testimonials

Here are some exhibitor testimonials from last year's event.

"Business North West was an excellent marketing opportunity for us and other companies in the region. If your service is business to business this is definitely the regional event to attend. I have been to numerous events and exhibitions that take place throughout the year but none have had the profile or the number of visitors through the door like Business North West."

Suzanne Fenerty, Business Link Northwest

“Business North West is proving to be a recognised fixture in the region’s business calendar. No other event gathers the same mix of decision makers, media and guest speakers under one roof. For Berkeley PR, taking part in the event is a no-brainer and we see it going from strength to strength.”

Philip Szomszor, Regional Director, Berkeley PR

“Thank you for all your hard work and professionalism during Business North West. You exceeded our expectations. Congratulations on producing the most successful business event we've attended this year!”

“If it's high quality business leads you want, there's no better event than Business North West.”

“Everything a business could ask for under one roof. That's how we'd describe Business North West”

Ian Creek, Marketing Director, NewZapp

“Attending Business North West last year gave us a great opportunity to meet potential customers and suppliers as there was a real blend of businesses represented at the show and our stand was consistently busy. The event generated more than 150 hot leads for us and I would recommend any company who is serious about the B2B market to ensure they are represented – we’re already booked for this year.”

Elaine Shepherd, Kall Kwik, Manchester

“Business North West 2007 was exceptionally well organised and provided a superb opportunity to meet businesses from across the North West of England.

As an exhibitor, the two-day event saw a huge amount of like minded professionals discussing business at every level. The speed-networking sessions were excellent and provided a real opportunity to highlight our services to a large number of receptive visitors and exhibitors.

We re-booked for Business North West 2008 on the last day of Business North West 2007 and look forward to exhibiting again this year!”

Caroline Chapman, Lancashire Economic Partnership

“Having exhibited at many large business events over the past few years, I found Business North West to be the most professionally run show we have attended. From the pre-event marketing through to the post-event follow up, we were delighted with the exhibition. The staff and event managers were extremely helpful, and ensured everything ran smoothly, as well as dealing with any last minute issues that cropped up quickly and efficiently. Overall an extremely well-run event contributing to making it Mamut Business Software’s most successful exhibition to date.”

Nathan Bray, Marketing Manager, UK & Ireland, Mamut Business Software

“Business Northwest was an excellent event for getting in front of decision makers. I received a very high standard in the quality of leads which is what is important!! The organisers are friendly and helpful, doing what they can to make it a successful event for us, the exhibitors. Thanks!”

Rachel Lewis, Lucid Marketing solutions

"The Business North West Exhibition was an excellent opportunity for Red Abbey to showcase our work and meet potential customers from across the North West. We drew inspiration from the various seminars, and the whole event helped us to learn more about ourselves and our market. This will assist me as an entrepreneur and Red Abbey as a business to develop during 2008.”

Colin Garnett, Director, Red Abbey Ltd

"For us the exhibition was a huge success.  We exceeded our expectations in terms of the number of people who visited our stand and we gained many solid leads which we are now following up.”

"The number and mix of visitors was very important to us.  The theme of Business North West this year was innovation, and the guest speakers were a great fit.  The visitors who came to see the seminars took time to see what else the show had to offer – we met a lot of people interested in our services.”

"As a company we also had a lot of fun, and I’m already looking forward to next year.”

Isla Owen, Events & Marketing Manager, Centre for Assessment

"We thought Business North West would be a really good opportunity because there is a lot of businesses and business people here. We’re aimed at targeting company car drivers, fleet managers and owners of businesses. We have to get the brand awareness out to local people and really tell them about what is happening with BMW and Business North West is a good platform to do that.”

"The quality of the visitors is good, we’re getting some really good inquiries and it’s useful to see some of the other stands here to be able to cross reference and see how they are exhibiting.”

"The turn out has been really good, we’ve got some really good potential customers, took some good enquiries and the stand looks great so we’ve attracted a lot of attention.”

"The event is the place to be because it’s the prime location in Manchester, everyone knows the venue. It’s fantastic to walk around and see all the different businesses here, and we’ll be coming back next year. It’s definitely something businesses should be involved in.”

Phil Lafone, Corporate Sales, Williams BMW
