Network Central was a great way for us to break into our niche market of American Sweets and Soda, where we were able to make lots of valuable contacts in a short amount of time. We also took a lot of information away from the dragons den session as we were able to tap into some great CEO minds.

Richard Burton, American Goodies

Excellent event, a better venue than last year because it was more spacious with more natural light.
Steve Davey, Smartcomms 4 Business Ltd

An excellent event with a lovely atmosphere and good attendance.
Philippa Constable, Women Mean Biz

The Speed Networking session was brilliant...I only wish we had had longer!

Great speakers, liked the mini-stands
Jackie Sears, Present2Sell Property Presentation

An excellent event - well worth the drive! Make it a monthly / bi-monthly event - I'd recomend it to anyone that I know!
Ian Firth, BDiPhoto

Very impressive event, well organised!
Gwen Byrne, Avon Vale Training

Excellent opportunity to meet new businesses 
Wendy Gilbert, Creative Consortium

I took a stand for the first time. I thought it was value for money. Made some contacts I would not normally have made in my usual way of working. 
Roger Carraher, BWW Printers Ltd

Overriding impression: great enthusiasm everywhere which was infectious. Seminars - "Remember The Ice" was excellent.Thank you for organising it. 
Sue Chinnick, PIVOTAL Learning Solutions

The was a real buzz in the building when I arrived, which was great. Managed to get to the Katie Hopkins seminar - she was very entertaining and informative. Time well spent catching up with contacts I hadn't seen for a while and making several new ones. 
Emma Hubbuck, Emma Hubbuck Associates

Great event. Having a 'pop up' stand worked for me & I made some good contacts. 
Alan Webb, Imagine Co-operative Childcare

I thought the event was great (and affordable) exposure for our company. The simple 2m x 1.5m pitches worked well and unlike many other exhibitions, meant that exhibitors were all equal. The informal set-up meant (in my opinion) that it was easy for visitors to approach us and have an informal chat about our products and services. The set-up meant that all visitors were chanelled through the exhibitors area and everyone got equal exposure. Finally, I found the seminars informative and were an excellent addition to the event. i did not join in the speed networking sessions however heard from a few other people that they were expecting them to be on a one-to-one basis. Thanks for a great day!
Becca Small, Sounds Commercial Ltd

Well worth attending to find this out though as our only expense was £145 for the stand and my time.
Lucy Smith, Above and Beyond Charities

I thought the day was extremely well organised. The layout of stands made it easy to negotiate the venue and ensure you spoke to as many people as possible. The speed networking was well organised and kept to time. Generally a productive and enjoyable day. 
Emma Tallack, Toucan Graphic Design

I enjoyed the event as there were a wide and varied number of businesses and I made some good contacts. 
Lucinda Mould, Marketing Clout

Well organised and a good variety of businesses
Julian Dunlop, Crescent Creative

It was a great day. I have made some great contacts and just booked my first appointment for tomorrow as a result of Friday so thanks very much!
Celia Gadd, Better Bills UK

Exceeded expectations 
Jon Penn, Academy for Chief Executives

Well organised and very impressive to see so many businesses in one place. Well done. 
Andrew Frazer, St. James's Place Wealth Management

The day was brilliant. I was planning on being there for a couple of hours but ending up spending most of the day. Not only did it attract many people I knew already, but I made contact with many people I didn't. It is a great opportunity to meet people. The venue is perfect as it is just off the motorway and not too far for anyone in the South West to travel, also with the space and restaurant, it catered for every opportunity. Well done to all the organisers.
Gail Parsons, Vanguard Surveillance & Security

Good event, made plenty of appropriate contacts and loved Katie Hopkin's talk. 'Yes Please' for an invite to next years. Got to get on now following up all the leads and referrals I collected. 
Bryony, PropStar Aviation

Good atmosphere, good access to transport links. Good variety of businesses and some great leads created and good contacts made.
Amy Roe, St Mellion International Resort

Great day! Met lots of interesting people and hopefully did some business. Easy loading/unloading and very organised set up. Congratulations on a super day! 
Lee Swinson, JaLee First Aid Training

Well done to you and your team, very enjoyable atmosphere and met lots of great folk. Easy access and parking. Cheers and thanks for a good event. 
Terry Wilcock, Your Own Pages - Devon

I had a fantastic time. The venue was very accessable in terms of being right by the M/way, plenty of FREE parking. The hall was set out with enough space to move around the stands and see everyone's banners etc. Very positive and friendly atmosphere. Made some great contact and came away with some very useful leads. Well worth attending. A big thank you to everyone who helped organise Network Central. 
Ian Beardsall, K&R Consultancy

Absolutely fantastic day, such a massive improvement on last year. Excellent footfall and received some good leads from having the pop-up pitch. Looking forward to the next one.
Elaine Isaac, Convallis Software Ltd

This was much better than last years event. It was more organised and much easier to conduct valuable networking. I only attended one seminar by Katie Hopkins - how fab was she?? Really enjoyed the day.
Joanne Caine, Cathedral Appointments Ltd

This was another great show by Network Central, very well run by Rod & Debbie. Met lots of good contacts with many leads to chase up on. have already booked my place at Plymouth and looking forward to a wealth of new leads and contacts there too.

Steve Potger, Lazerpics

Just a quick note to say thank you for all you and your colleagues did in making the Bridgwater Network Central event yesterday such a success.  Catherine and I were literally flooded with visitors to our stand.  We made some great new business contacts and have several meetings already set up with businesses who are interested in our marketing and PR services.  As it was our first exhibition, we were unsure about what to expect, but we’re absolutely delighted with the outcomes.

Chris was extremely helpful, very attentive and did a great job with the speed networking which added to the overall experience for us.

Karen Morledge, Plum Communications & PR

Feedback I thought it was great, well organised and just a good day out networking. Well done.

Kate Bale, golocaldirectories.com

I thought that the Network Central event in Bridgwater was tremendous, just like bringing a little bit of the city to the country at last!!

Jane Macpherson DiP F.D

“we went to the last Plymouth event and found it to be an excellent day, even though we were not exhibiting! I think the format and environment is perfect for doing business.”

West Brook Commutations Plymouth Devon.

Great day - found it interesting, inspiring and met lots of new contacts. Will definately be attending the next one.

Lorna Barker, St Lukes Hospice

Just wanted to say thanks for a great networking event today – you summed it up when we had coffee/lunch with Rich, Nigel, Chris and Roger saying that it’s like a party of friends doing business together and that’s so true. I think this was better than the recent BSW show (and Brad signed my book!!).

Jenny Scott, Net Energy

'Network Central has given me the focus and energy I needed to develop my business. It has created many opportunities by allowing me to meet the right people, network and share some amazing ideas in one place. I have secured business as a direct result of Network Central events and have been able to reduce my cost of doing business by engaging with fellow exhibitors. The energy I get from these events is quite amazing and of course, people just love my chocolate.'

Dennis, Chocabloc
