“This was an exceptionally good event, perfectly pitched (as far as I’m concerned) by a first class team of knowledgeable and engaging speakers. Two hours was about right and I for one preferred the ‘straight-through’ format rather than faffing around with two many breaks. The bacon and sausage rolls were also excellent.”

This was just one of many really positive comments that were given as feedback from the ‘Franchising Your Business Event’ that we presented at last week in Nottingham along with representatives from Geldards Solicitors, GTI Consultancy and Business Link.

With over 40 businesses attending, the event was a resounding success for all parties involved and The Energy Cell were very happy to be a part of it by contributing presentations on Branding and also on Planning Your Marketing, Andy Clayton who presented at the event said:

“The whole event ran smoothly from start to finish, we were very pleased with the number of delegates who attended and the event seems to have raised a number of points for those businesses who are really keen to grow. We look forward to being involved in future opportunities”

The delegates took away a whole range of advice and information, when asked for what they had learnt they responded with a variety –

“Build a strong brand, protect it, make it profitable and seek professional advice.”

“Importance of planning – SWOTS!”

“Get the foundations right in the first place.”

“Need for professional advice.”

The success of the event has already resulted in another one planned in with Larken & Co Solicitors in Newark on the 7^th of April and there are also discussions in place with Geldards and Business Link about running another one in Derby so keep your eyes open.
