EXHIBITORS were given practical advice when they attended a workshop in connection with this year's Bolton Bury Business Show.

The eagerly-awaited event will be in the EXCEL Centre at Bolton College on October 22 and 23.

All 67 stands have been sold out for some time.

Organisers invited exhibitors to a workshop at the Jarvis Georgian House Hotel at Blackrod.

They saw a video by Video Arts Production Ltd which takes a humorous look at life on the exhibition stand.

There was also a short address by Neil Haworth of Modular Displays Ltd and Richard Lynch, the Chairman of the Organising Committee, outlined details of a promotional campaign aimed at boosting the number of visitors to the inaugural event.

The event is a Bolton Strategic Partnership initiative and is being organised by the Bolton Evening News, Bolton & Bury Chamber of Commerce, Bolton Council, Bury Council, Bolton Bury Training and Enterprise Council, Bolton Bury Business Link and Bolton College.
