" Great event, excellent facilities, will come to many more events in the future."
Mike Conroy, mike Conroy Agencies

"This is the 3rd event I’ve attended but the first one as an exhibitor. Each time the event is well run and very informative. I would certainly recommend that future events are attended- it’s a social and informal way of networking with local businesses."
Jan Lord, Guide Bridge MOT and Service Centre

"A useful event for meeting other small businesses in the same position as myself and also good links with other businesses not connected with my own."
James Kennedy, J.K Digital Systems

" Thanks very much for arranging yesterday's event in New Mills. I found both networking workshops very useful and made a couple of new contacts. It is very enterprising of you to run these events and I will support the venues listed for the remainder of the year."

"Thanks very much for organising today – the venue, exhibitors and sessions which worked well."

"Very quite compared to the event at Glossop but that wouldn't stop me going to future events."

"Overall I thought the event was very informative and inspiring" Deborah Osborne, Sew Compleat

"Thanks, plenty to think about!" Peter Bursteinas, NICS Ltd

"Speed networking session was brilliant but could have done with another 30 minutes to get to meet everyone" Sally Mosley, Guided Walks

"A good event and well worth the trip from Nottingham" Laurance Higgs, Focus Zenith Research

"Very well organised event, friendly and excellent buffet" Brian Foster, Lichfield Software

I have gained more business contacts than expected, making the event a great use of my time.
Sarah Moran, Tameside College

Today’s event was hard work, but great fun & very satisfying. A number of new contacts made, some of which could be very useful, and I may even have picked up some work as a direct result of being there, so that’s even better.
Colin Foster, Universal Solutions for Business

Excellent opportunity to network with people I would normally not be in contact with.
Claire Rimmer, Forever Living Products

A welcomed surprise, I’ve really enjoyed the event and made some brilliant contacts. I have also gained some business from the day, it was very worthwhile.
Sara Callow Photography

Very good idea, good opportunity to meet and network. Enjoyed the seminars, I found them very helpful.
Ronald Stone, Guardian Finance

Great event, happy with the leads I picked up. Everyone was really friendly; speakers’ timetable could have been better advertised. Would definitely attend again.

Super event for local business
Troy Lees, Business Link North West

First open networking event, would go to another one as I made some promising contacts.
Paul Astbury, BPD Ltd

Thank you all very much for making Tuesday a success, we all certainly had a good chat and hopefully have generated some business between us. I thought the event was well put together, thank you.
Sue Willet, NW Secretarial services

Excellent event, please repeat!
David Lees, SME Protect LTD

Excellent use of my time, well worth a visit.

"The Do Business event organised by First Impression was a great success. Helen Duncan, MD, is highly enthusiastic, creative and professional with a genuine passion for delivering a first rate service. These qualities meant that the event was very well organised and relevant to the needs of local businesses. Helen ensured that all exhibitors were well supported and the event was extremely good value for money. We certainly benefited from attending and made several important business contacts. I have also used First Impression for design and printing services and can highly recommend their team. You can be sure that they will work very hard on your behalf and deliver what they promise."
Frances Taylor, Brightspark Training - www.brightsparktraining.net

"I made good links with Business Link and booked an appointment with a local restaurant. "
Utility Warehouse

"An excellently organised event. We came away with new contacts for our courses."
Sarah Kelly, DCC

"Do Business was great for us, we booked two call out visits on the day with new companies and met some other interested businesses."
Nathan Harbut, Complink UK - http://www.complinkuk.com/

"A visitor at Do Business Buxton said it was a “fantastic way of meeting other businesses in a fun and frantic environment.”
 

"The Do Business in Glossop event was a positive even in two ways for my company. There was the obvious marketing potential which allowed potential clients to see my work and also appreciate that photography can also go beyond weddings and portraits and can in fact be a useful tool in fact for businesses own marketing. Through this event I was given a number of potential leads for work over the next few months. The other aspect was the creation of links with local companies whose services I will use. There were two companies there that I will be using in the next couple of weeks and it is good to know that I don't have to spend hours searching the internet or sit for hours in the car to get these services."
Sara Porter Photograph - www.saraporterphotography.co.uk

"I thought the day went well, there was a nice friendly atmosphere and a buzz in the air! For us, we met businesses that we may work with in the future, and helped (hopefully) to let people know that we aren't just about council housing...that we offer lots of services. I would definitely like to attend the next event if possible. Once again, thank-you!"
Verity Calderbank, Marketing & Communications, High Peak Community Housing - www.hpch.co.uk

"Just a quick note to say thanks for Tuesday – I’m sure that there was loads of hard work went into it but from what I saw it was worth it. It seemed a successful day and I certainly enjoyed it."
Chris Clayton, Grey Matters - www.grey-matters.eu

Annette Boden - www.annetteboden.co.uk

"Excellent event yesterday. We made some good contacts and everyone I spoke too thought it was really good and were getting a lot out of it. Looking forward to the next one."
Simon Fussell, Business Support adviser, business link - www.businesslink.gov.uk/eastmidlands
