Spirit of Bridport
Business Forum
Spirit of Bridport is hosting a Business Forum
from 6-8pm on Wednesday 27 April 2011 at the Bull Hotel, Bridport
A free Forum for local high-street and market-traders, tourism, and business promotion will meet for the first time from 6-8pm on Wednesday 27 April at the Bull Hotel. Organised by the Spirit of Bridport, the event aims to find ever more effective ways for businesses to work together to promote our town and support our local economy, culture & community.
Bridport is a thriving market town, but like all small towns, our traditional high street shops and assorted small businesses face increasing competition from supermarkets, the internet and growing economic pressures. We believe that the best way to promote Bridport is to tap into the huge the resource of insights and experience that we already have within our local business community.
"Our local traders are quite rightly aware of the uniqueness of that they offer, and there are a range of business people who have got some brilliant ideas for how to develop the town. We want to get them together so they can look at what they can do to promote their businesses together. The Spirit group will host the forum, but it's important that the ideas come from the business community themselves – that’s what this evening’s event is about." Ross Kayes, co-chair of Spirit of Bridport.
We hope you will join us for this informal and stimulating evening of inspired discussion, sharing of ideas and productive networking, complimented with a free buffet of local food. You're then welcome to stay on to network and socialise with a drink in the Venner bar.
We want this Spirit Business Forum to:
* Provide a forum to connect & engage our cultural, commercial & business communities
* Harness untapped entrepreneurial ideas & insights from within our business community
* Stimulate discussion & encourage the sharing of skills & resources between businesses
* Develop new creative partnerships, business collaborations and cross-promotions
* Create wide-reaching promotional projects to help raise the profile of Bridport locally and nationally, through the Press, the Internet and Social Media
* Devise a Promotional Business Plan for Bridport.
