Hunts business fair aims to crack 500-visitor target

The annual event, which is returning to Wood Green Animal Shelter in Godmanchester for the sixth consecutive year, attracted over 470 visitors last year and has local businesses lining up to showcase their products and services.

Organised in partnership by Cambridgeshire Chambers of Commerce and the Huntingdonshire Federation of Small Businesses, this year's business fair is jointly sponsored by BrightVisions and Granite 5, who will as well be offering free technical assistance to exhibiting companies. The organisers hope to top the 500-visitor mark this year.

The seminar programme includes tips on maximising the promotional benefits of Google Local Search, a no-nonsense evaluation of the emerging technology in other words 'cloud computing' and an update on the current status of the Greater Cambridge-Greater Peterborough Local Enterprise Partnership.

The chambers' events and training co-ordinator, Maria Briggs, said: "Many companies use the exhibition to launch a new product, survey new markets, check out what the competition is up to as then as raise their company profile amongst the wider business community.

"Our sponsors BrightVisions and Granite 5 will even be offering a helping hand to exhibitors on the day to ensure that technical equipment is up and running and businesses can use IT to its full potential to showcase your products and services."
