Business South 2009 - the highlights.....
This year, Bateman's Credit Services exhibited at Business South 2009 as part of Solent Business Growth Network. We were on Stand 74 and we all had a fantastic time meeting the other exhibitors and visitors to the show. As there were various SBGN representatives running the stand, we were each able to attend various seminars, VIP meetings and speed networking.
Some of the members of Solent Business Growth Network on the stand....

Members of SBGN attended various VIP receptions; I personally went to the Wooden Tiger VIP reception (see photo below) and the AQ Networking reception. Both events were very enjoyable and I met some very interesting people.

Unfortunately I do not have a picture to represent the best highlight for me and that was attracting a new client before the first day was over - and I received the work by email that day! Even without this huge plus, it was a fantastic event and we are already looking at which stand we want to book for next year at the Rose Bowl.
For more pictures of the exhibition, please see below.

A great opportunity to meet up with current clients....in this case, Michael Rocks Surveying Ltd who is a client of BCS.
