Lincolnshire’s renowned Building a Better Business event returned for a third last week (Thursday 6th November) offering expert advice on how to grow your business.

The event at The Showroom in Lincoln included workshops about finance management, workforce development, strategic marketing, exploiting new technologies and creating an effective senior team.

Delegates had the chance to join ten-minute business support surgeries which provided information about local networking opportunities and business support programmes, in addition to networking and information from local business exhibitors.

Chris Robey, Managing Director from Systematic Print Management Systematic Print, was the guest speaker at the event organised by the Lincolnshire Chamber of Commerce, the county council-led Business Lincolnshire Growth Hub and Streets Chartered Accountants.

He said: “It was a superb event and very well organised with some stimulating presentations and seminars. There’s a real sense that Lincoln and Lincolnshire are on the up with lots of opportunities for business growth in the future.”

Craig Pearson from NBV Enterprise Solutions was one of the delegates on the day. He commented: “I thoroughly enjoyed the day. There have been lots of knowledgeable speakers and plenty of information to take away and inspire business owners about their growth plans.”

Simon Beardsley, Chief Executive of the Lincolnshire Chamber of Commerce, said he was delighted with the latest event, which is now in its third year.

“Business has grown faster in the East Midlands than any other English region in the first six months of the year and the turnout at Building a Better Business – Going For Growth really reflects this.

“I’m thrilled to be involved in the event which offers support by providing a range of expert speakers who can offer guidance on the most effective way to grow their business at this exciting time.”
