Safari-themed Shropshire business expo proves a big success
Shropshire Chamber of Commerce’s latest expo – including a safari-themed speed networking session – has been declared a huge success.
The ‘Connectin Business’ event, held at Shrewsbury Town FC’s Croud Meadow stadium, was one of the busiest yet, with sold-out display stands including several first-time exhibitors.
The day included a speed networking event with a difference, bringing fun and colour to proceedings with a special ‘safari’ theme.
Kelly Riedel, the chamber’s events and training manager, said: “It was a really busy and successful event. We’ve had some fantastic feedback, particularly for injecting some fun into the speed networking session.
“One delegate wrote to us to say ‘the feeling around the room was wonderful. Everyone was open to conversation and exploring new opportunities’.
"That’s great to hear, as it is exactly the atmosphere we were trying to create.
“We are always looking for interesting and different ways to connect with our members and with non-members, keeping our networking events, fun, productive and fresh.
“Our calendar of business meetings, workshops and networking dates is packed with diary dates that could lead to that next business opportunity that you’re looking for.”
