Burton Winning Business Exhibition
We have been extremely pleased by the fantastic response after exhibiting at the recent Burton Winning Business Exhibition, on the 8th September. The Exhibition was staged by East Staffordshire Borough Council and Burton District Chamber of Commerce and was held at the Meadowside centre in Burton upon Trent.

The exhibition was designed to give local business people the opportunity to meet face-to-face with buyers from major local companies and to network with hundreds of potential new customers. There were also a number of presentations and handy seminars that took place on the day.

The event was extremely well organised by Business-to-Business Exhibitions Ltd and proved to be a huge success on the day. Says Keystone Computer Group’s Managing Director, Jonathan Blake “It was encouraging to see so many companies coming together and demonstrating a unified commitment to create new and exciting relationships with other local businesses. There are many professional organisations on our doorstep and all too often businesses overlook this fact. Keystone looks forward to embracing local commercial growth through awareness and events of this type in the future. The show was extremely useful, and some excellent relations have been formed as a direct result. . . together we make a difference!”
