new business   new skills   new contacts

Winning Business 09 will be held at Drayton Manor Theme Park on Tuesday 10th November.  Now in its 6th year, the event is firmly established as the area’s premier business show having helped thousands of South Staffordshire companies increase their performance and sales.  Running alongside the exhibition is an inspirational conference programme set to provide an insight into key issues that businesses need to address in order to grow and be successful.

Last year’s event bought over 80 exhibitors and 800 delegates under one roof providing the ideal opportunity to showcase their goods and services to the wider business community. 

Admission to the event is free.  A limited number of exhibition stands are still available from as little as £275+VAT (£225 for members of Southern Staffordshire Chamber of Commerce & Industry).
