JUST a handful of stands remain available for exhibitors at the Suffolk Business Exhibition, being held by ISSBA (Ipswich & Suffolk Small Business Association) at Trinity Park on May 2.

The event, to which admission for visitors is free, will run from 5pm to 9pm with a supporting programme of business seminars during the afternoon.

ISSBA chairman Vivienne Maunder says the event is an opportunity for everyone to find out what the small business community of Suffolk has to offer.

“We'll have getting on for 100 stands, representing the brightest and best of the local business community, but this is not just an exhibition for the business community; there really is something for everybody,” she said.

“ISSBA membership is very diverse and at the show there will be the opportunity to meet people from all kinds of different businesses.”

She added: “There are still a few opportunities available for exhibitors too and anyone wanting to find out more needs to log on to our website - www.issba.co.uk - without delay.”

The annual exhibition, which regularly attracts hundreds of visitors and is being held at Trinity Park for the second time, will also see the launch of ISSBA's new directory, sponsored by Lever Press, which lists its 320-plus members.

“Our sponsors are absolutely wonderful in terms of the support they give us,” added Vivienne. “Archant consistently come up with terrific support and for the first time this year we are being generously supported by Trinity Park themselves.

“We're also grateful for the financial assistance of others including IPSENTA, PKF, Barclays Bank, Suffolk Chamber of Commerce, Jackaman Smith & Mulley, Ipswich Borough Council and ITV Sales.”
