THERE is still some space left for companies who have not yet committed themselves to promoting their services at this year's Business Voice exhibition.

The popular annual event returns to the Reebok Stadium on October 11 and 12.

Organisers have secured the following testimonials from some of those who took part last year.

Mr Phil Shaw, director, Portfolio Art and Design: "We made some excellent contacts at last year's exhibition and really raised our local profile.

"Since then, demand for our web site design services has really exploded -- we've doubled our business and taken on two more designers."

Mr Timothy Gray, Clough and Willis Solicitors, Bury: "This exhibition is a unique forum for meeting new clients and old friends.

"Business Voice '99 was well-run and highly effective as a marketing tool."

Mr John Gilbert, Nationwide Franking Sense Ltd: "Last year's show proved to be very successful for generating locally-based business and for the number of sales leads acquired through networking with visitors and exhibitors."

Mr Andy Jones, Sales and Marketing Manager for Esporta Health and Fitness Club:

"Business Voice '99 was a tremendous success, putting us firmly on the map as a major player in the business community.
