Anglia Business Spotlight 2014 - Would you like some free publicity for your business?

Would you like to tell people about your business? If so, ISSBA is offering the chance for some free publicity to our members.

After the success of last year’s Anglia Business Spotlight event (dramatic makeover of our popular “Stir it and Stump It (and blow your own trumpet)” evening), ISSBA will be hosting a similar event for 2014 and invites you to put your business under the spotlight. Eight lucky ISSBA members will have the opportunity to explain to fellow members and guests about what your business offers. (There is no charge for this opportunity apart from the usual entry fee).

ISSBA is giving you the chance to be interviewed before an audience by award-winning broadcaster (BBC Radio Suffolk) and ISSBA member, Rachel Sloane.

You will not have to prepare a presentation but will instead first be interviewed by Rachel and then form part of a panel for a general discussion about business issues. There will be time for questions from the audience too.

Eight business owners (who must be members of ISSBA) will to be chosen by a sub-committee from all applicants and four businesses will feature in each half of the evening. A variety of business types will be chosen and preference will be given to those who have an interesting story to tell.

To apply: Please email francis@reactcp.co.uk with a couple of paragraphs about your business and why you’d like to be included. Closing date for applicants is 12 September 2014.

Those chosen for Anglia Business Spotlight will be asked to fill in a short questionnaire upon which the interview will be based.
