Sizzle - Knowledge is Power

 

Wednesday 9th June 2010, 4-6.30pm, Preston

 

Following the success of the Knowledge is Power event held in Lancaster earlier this year; we are now offering another opportunity for businesses to receive valuable expert advice.

 

'To get to where we are, we have relied not just on the skills and expertise of our staff … but also government agencies and other organisations that we’ve tapped into for support, grants and advice as its needed. From funding to finding the best partners and from VAT to PAYE - knowledge really is power.'

Michael Gibson,

MD, Fat Media Ltd
