After the success in Manchester we have taken SME Connect on the road to Warrington. I would like to extend a personal invitation for all readers of my blog to attend an SME Connect business seminar on Wednesday 7th October, 2009 at Warrington Business School, Winwick Road, Warrington at 2.00pm. The current recession, whether ‘V’ or ‘W’ shaped, will come to an end. The seminar theme is around coming out of recession, preparing for growth and managing the associated risks.
The seminar, sponsored by RBS and Forshaws Davies Ridgeway LLP, will be presented by North West based experts from a number of key business areas, giving practical tips and guidance on the following topics:
Banks like lending money
Stuart Finnerty, Commercial Manager at Royal Bank of Scotland Group

The secret to using marketing to help generate ACTION!
Stephen Nurdin, Head of Marketing at Kinesis

The usual cost is £75 per delegate. Attendees are restricted to Directors/Owners of SMEs employing a minimum of 5 people and an annual turnover of £1m+ (or looking at rapid growth), to ensure attendees get the most benefit from the event. Space is limited and places will be allocated on a first come first served basis. Your place can be reserved by registering online at www.sme-connect.co.uk, picking the 7th October event and entering the special booking code WBSO 12.
If you are unable to attend the 7th October event we are also hosting two further seminars, on 24th November (booking code WBSN 17) and 10th February (WBSF 23). Venue and timings remain the same.
Complimentary refreshments will be served. Please arrive at 2.00pm for a 2.30pm prompt start. The event will finish with informal networking and a scheduled close of 6.00pm. I hope you will be able to make it.
Best regards,
Julian
