BUSINESS NORTH WEST 2009 HAILED STRONGEST SHOW EVER

Business North West 2009, which took place at Manchester Central on Wednesday and Thursday last week, has been hailed as the strongest in the event’s four year history. For the first time, technology giant Google delivered seminars to capacity audiences in the Google University. Business North West also featured popular practical sessions in the How To theatre and on the Wednesday evening featured the region’s largest networking event.

Michelle Mone, the creator of the UK’s leading lingerie brand Ultimo, and Kell Ryan, founding member of Ryanair, delivered keynote speeches to packed audiences at the event’s Innovation Lounge.

Speaking about Business North West, Scott Hider, Managing Director at Nationwide Media Group said; “The strong performance of Business North West 2009 firmly re-emphasises the importance of the annual conference and exhibition in the regional business calendar. Despite the current economic climate we knew this year’s show would be particularly strong. Clearly, both exhibitors and visitors see the importance of marketing themselves aggressively and consequently saw the value of attending at Business North West. We are also pleased that Google has pledged to act as a major sponsor of our other shows across the country this year.

“Importantly, we also know of an abundance of valuable introductions and business deals at the event. The tested formula of high profile keynote speakers and practical sessions for SMEs went down very well with business managers and owners. All in all, the exhibition’s performance this year stands us in good stead for Business North West 2010.”
