On Wednesday I ran a marketing seminar at the Forest of Dean Enterprise Fair. The annual one-day free business show is now in its fifth year and it’s a must for anyone running a small business in the district.

Held on Wednesday, 18 April at Vantage Point Business Village in Mitcheldean, its purpose is to bring businesses together. It continues to grow in both size and impact each year, offering invaluable networking opportunities and insights for businesses across the Forest of Dean.

The event always attracts a wide range of local businesses, entrepreneurs and community organisations too and it’s a chance for us all to get together in one place and talk, find out about each other and learn from each other.

The title of my seminar was ‘Marketing Made Simple: Easy to Understand, Practical Marketing Advice and Tips to Boost your Business’. It was inspiring to see such enthusiasm from local entrepreneurs keen to develop their marketing skills.

Running the seminar at the Forest of Dean Enterprise Fair was a great experience. I love working with new and young businesses, helping them shine, grow and reach more people. Seeing their ideas come to life and supporting them to improve and succeed is so rewarding. It was great to see so many businesses engaging with each other and exploring opportunities for growth and collaboration and helping secure the future of the Forest of Dean’s economy.
