The largest event held for business
The one stop for the time pressed
business owner. A business to business marketplace where business
owners and operators can find all of the advice, information,
products and services they need to grow and develop their
business.
Products and services on offer range from business mentors to
accountants, to website developers to office suppliers.
This is the perfect opportunity for
business owners to work 'ON' rather than IN their
business.
"The Expos are a great place for
SMEs to network with others, and visit hundreds of business support
providers who can help them set up and make running their business
easier."
Justin Hygate, Group Manager, Business Registries, New
Zealand Ministry of Economic Development.
"The Business Expo is the
largest business event in the country. It speaks volumes about the
determination of Sarah Trotman and her team. I first met Sarah when
she was the head of Business in the Community. It was my first
introduction to the concept of business mentoring and she sold me
on that. I met her again at an awards evening where I listed my top
five priorities as Minister for small business and she came rushing
up to me. Sarah proceeded to tell me I had my priorities in the
wrong order- so I changed them..."
Hon. Lianne Dalziel, Minister for Small
Business.
