Broxbourne Business Fair
The Borough Council will be holding the second annual business
fair in Broxbourne on Friday 30 May 2008 at Wolsey Hall, Windmill
Lane, Cheshunt. The event, which is sponsored by Axis
magazine, Broxbourne Housing Association and Tesco, will run from
11am to 3pm and will be opened by the Mayor of Broxbourne.
The event will have representation from a wide range of local
businesses and the voluntary sector and a number of short talks
will take place throughout the day including a talk from the
Olympic Delivery Authority on how companies can tender to provide
goods and services for the 2012 Olympics.
The purpose of the fair is to offer advice and information on a
range of topics relevant to local businesses, to foster links
between the public sector and the business sector and to encourage
residents to think about starting up their own
businesses.
The event will include:
- Business information and advice
- Advice on support for new business start ups eg grants
- Encouraging social enterprise
- Networking opportunities
- Information about selling to the public sector
This event offers an opportunity for the Council and other
public sector organisations to engage with local businesses,
especially those which are small and looking to expand. The
format of the event allows visitors to ‘drop in’ at a suitable time
for them and spend as little or as long as they like looking at the
services on offer. The Council has produced a leaflet with
details of the five short talks and what is on offer on the
day. Further information and copies of the leaflets are
available in the ‘Business in
Broxbourne’ section of the Council’s website, by e-mailing
