GETTING ahead of the game is what it’s all about for start-ups at October’s Business Expo hosted by the Chamber of Commerce Herefordshire and Worcestershire.

The chamber will welcome hundreds of the region’s businessmen and women to the home of rugby team Worcester Warriors on October 22.

For people who are thinking about starting their own business, or confused about what to do next, the Chamber is providing free start-up workshops throughout the day to help start-ups and give advice.

Business Expo offers an opportunity for all businesses, regardless of membership to the Chamber, to come and discover new partnerships, share knowledge and best practice, and soak up a stream of invaluable advice.

Event organiser Naomi Rusher said: “The start-up workshops offer a new dynamic at this year’s expo. In the economic climate it’s vital we encourage and support entrepreneurs and start-up businesses throughout Worcestershire and Herefordshire.”

As well as the Start-up workshops, Business Expo offers delegates free access to the exhibition area and to business seminars throughout the day, while chamber chief executive Mike Ashton and his staff will be on hand to answer any questions about membership and the money-saving products and services the chamber has to offer.
