Bookings have opened for stand space at next year’s Suffolk Coast Business Exhibition, with organisers and sponsors of the event hoping to build on the success of this year’s launch event.

The Heritage Coast Market Towns Initiative (HCMTI), which staged the inaugural Suffolk Coast Business Exhibition at Framlingham College in March, is returning to the same venue for next year’s event on Wednesday, April 2, 2014.

It offers an opportunity for companies of all sizes to promote their products and

services, meet and communicate directly with potential customers and benefit from a range of workshops and training sessions.

Ensors Chartered Accountants, Suffolk Chamber of Commerce and Suffolk Coastal District Council are sponsoring the 2014 exhibition, having been instrumental in the launch of the exhibtion this year. Additional sponsorship has been secured from Gotelee Solicitors and media company Archant, whose titles include the East Anglian Daily Times, is also supporting the event.

HCMTI project co-ordinator Annette Mason-Gordon said: “On behalf of the board and the business associations in Framlingham, Leiston, Saxmundham and Aldeburgh who we represent, I would like to thank all our sponsors for supporting us in our quest to promote the region as a thriving business destination.

“Increased sponsorship has enabled us to expand on the 2013 exhibition with more space to network as well as additional workshops and training to inspire people and widen their knowledge.

“We will be working closely with our partners at Archant and Leiston Press to attract visitors who are sure to take away with them some added business knowledge and valuable information from exhibitors.

“The ethos of the college is to encourage pupils to open their minds, to aim high in all they do, and to make the most of the opportunities available to them and I encourage exhibitors and visitors to do exactly that on Wednesday, April 2, 2014 ”
