BOLTON and Bury Chamber's Business Advantage division is holding a Meet the Buyer event targeted at the construction sector, at Wigan's JJB Stadium on Tuesday November 26.

The event will be combined with the launch of the new Construction Best Practice Group for North Manchester, which will promote networking and best practice within the local sector.

Companies will have an opportunity to pre-book face-to-face sales appointments with a selection of leading construction companies. There will also be an exhibition, and seminars by leading industry professionals covering essential areas of best practice in construction.

The first 40 companies registering for the event will receive a free benchmark index analysing how their company is performing in comparison to its peers. This consultancy support is worth £500.

The Meet the Buyer events are being organised in partnership with Business Link North Manchester to give companies an opportunity to win new business, network, promote their products and services, and develop their specialist skills.

There will be a second Meet the Buyer event at Bolton's Reebok Stadium on February 19 next year which will focus on engineering and manufacturing companies. A third event will take place in Rochdale on February 28, offering companies from all sectors an opportunity to sell to buyers from the public sector.
