Champagne flows at EXPO launch party

Aug. 4, 2011 - PRLog -- With Champagne flowing and canapés served courtesy of The Lazy Cow, over eighty guests attended the party to hear of this year’s plans for a business event which is set to be the talk of the town.

Melanie Murell of the Salisbury and District Chamber of Commerce kicked the evening off with an introduction to the show, expressing the Chamber’s delight at the involvement of award-winning marketing and events company TWA in the organisation of this, the ninth South Wilts Business EXPO.

TWA Director Ed Thomas followed, informing the audience of plans for a show that promises to be “bigger and better than ever before”, with a jam-packed programme and range of opportunities to help people in and around South Wiltshire grow their business.

With the first exhibitors appearing on the event website (www.southwiltsexpo.biz) at the time of the launch, one hundred regional businesses will be represented at the show, which expects to draw in record numbers with the range of guest speakers, networking opportunities and special offers arranged – all of which are completely free to those wishing to attend the event.

As part of the celebrations of the Chamber’s centenary, fifty specially purchased archived images were introduced depicting Salisbury over the last hundred years, which sparked much interest for those taking advantage of a special banner stand offer which runs until the end of the month.

In addition, Cartoonist and EXPO speaker Graham Shaw presented Kirstie Mathieson of the Salisbury Playhouse with a dinner for two at The Lazy Cow, having drawn her name in a prize draw during the party.

The evening was a huge success, with a buzzing atmosphere and much excitement about the launch of a fantastic new event which promises to increase the prominence of Salisbury on the business map.
