infoUK at Stand No. 70 – Business North West Exhibition

infoUK, the Manchester-based business-to-business sales leads and business data provider is sponsoring the region’s largest networking evening on Wednesday 19 November at Manchester Central.

Taking place on the opening night in the Network Café at the Business North West exhibition and conference, the evening event kicks off at 5.30pm and is expected to be one of the most popular sessions at the business exhibition. The Network Café is also sponsored by infoUK and will be open throughout the two-day event to enable exhibitors and visitors to relax, network and do business.

Now in its third year running, thousands of businesses, entrepreneurs and would-be business owners are registered to attend with hundreds more expected to turn-up on each day. This year’s North West event has been tailored to help SME’s compete in today’s increasingly difficult economic climate.

Andy Taylor, head of marketing and product at infoUK, said: “Being new to Manchester and to the UK, we wanted to get out there and support businesses in the North West to do better business. Networking is crucial to businesses to help secure new customers and we want to urge more and more businesses to come along, get networking and help win new business.

“At infoUK we are all about providing businesses with the sales leads needed to generate sales and secure profitable new customers, so our sponsorship of the largest networking session in the North West makes complete sense. We are really excited about being involved.”

In addition to sponsoring the networking evening and the Café, infoUK are also exhibiting at the Manchester event (stand No. 70) and will be providing free sales and marketing advice for anyone visiting its stand. The company will also be giving away 100 free sales leads to all visitors that sign-up with them at the event for more information. As a result, businesses can see for themselves, and free of charge, the benefits that sales leads can bring to their business.

Visitors to the infoUK stand will also get the chance to see infoUK.com in action – the company’s newly launched online sales leads and direct marketing tool for small businesses, business owners and marketers involved in business-to-business (B2B) marketing.

Scott Hider, Managing Director of Business North West, says, “We welcome infoUK’s support in making such a great networking opportunity possible. When it comes to building relationships, there is no substitute for meeting people in person and in the current downturn, it is more important than ever that businesses are networking with prospects. The Network Café is the ideal platform for people to interact face-to-face – an essential tool that drives businesses forward through inspiration and motivation.”
