Kevin Horne, Chief Executive of NWES, commented: “We are delighted to be involved with this years event. We have been encouraging enterprise and helping to support business start-ups for over 30 years. To be part of the Suffolk Business Exhibition and in particular  be the sponsor of the Business Start Up Area fits perfectly into our mission to ‘encourage enterprise’. Over the last 5 years we have helped over 2500 new businesses to start trading. We are keen to see even more people to set up their own business, in a sustainable way. With our support, it has been proven that businesses survive longer, grow faster and are more profitable. This sponsorship agreement also fits perfectly with our other business sponsorships which includes the Future 50 and the East Anglian Business Awards.”

Roger Barcham, Chairman of ISSBA commented: “We are delighted that NWES have agreed to sponsor the Business Start Up Area. This area has always been important as it allows new businesses to promote themselves to a wider audience at a relatively low cost. It also gives them the opportunity to be part of a large business-to-business event, to showcase their business and gain important business contacts. I would like to thank the team at NWES for not only sponsoring the event but helping to promote the event to their wider network of contacts.”
