A Helping Hand for Local Entrepreneurs

Entrepreneurs and small business owners across South Wales are invited to tap into free marketing and business advice at an event this month.

The South Wales Business Fayre, which takes place at the Three Saints Hotel and Conference Centre in Llantrisant, will offer workshops on hot topics, such as online marketing, time management, entrepreneurship and motivating employees.

The Fayre will also include an exhibition, allowing up to 50 businesses operating across a variety of sectors, to showcase their products and services at exhibition stands.

Onkar Singh, General Manager at Three Saints Hotel, said: “It is an honour to host such a fantastic event for the local business community. Our Diamond Suite is capable of holding up to 500 delegates, and our top notch facilities should make it easy for attendees to make the most of the occasion.”

Representatives from Barclays Bank will also be on hand to offer advice, as well as Rhondda Cynon Taff Council Business Club, who can help businesses by offering possible grant assistance.

The event is designed to offer an informal setting for entrepreneurs to have an open discussion with suppliers and service providers, about how they can potentially benefit businesses.

Visitors will also have the chance to attend two planned speed networking events and a breakfast meeting, giving them a fantastic opportunity to mingle with likeminded professionals.

This year, The Business Fayre is sponsored by the Welsh Assembly and Barclays Bank; with the aim of helping SMEs find their way in these difficult times.
