The largest business event in the North East of England is taking place on 25th and 26th February Newcastle Racecourse, High Gosforth Park.  It’s expected that over 1000 people will attend this event which will host a combination of “Meet the Buyers”, a business exhibition, a support and advice zone and free-to-attend seminars on a range of “hot” topics.  This will be a great opportunity for North East organisations to develop business and make new contacts.

Nicholson Consultancy will be delivering one of the seminars, on Wednesday 25 February at 10.30 am on “Improving Business Efficiency”.  Come along and hear how you can get more from your exisiting resources using the Lean approach, which can be used effectively both in the office and in the manufacturing environment.  If this is an area which particularly interests you and you’re unable to attend our seminar, you can come along and visit us at the Exhibition, on Stand 22.  We’ll be there on Thursday 26 February too.  Alternatively you can sign up for our e-zine, “Better Today” at www.nicholsonconsultancy.com/ezine for articles on ways you can improve your business efficiency.

If you’re based in the North East and are a supplier of products and/or services, take a look at the NE Business Fair website, www.nebusinessfair.co.uk for more information.  You can “View the Buyers” who’ll be there, and see if you can provide any goods or services they need.  To sign up as a free visitor visit the NE Business Fair sign-up page.
