HERE’S WHAT PREVIOUS DELEGATES HAVE TO SAY:

Phil Jones, Bistre Farm Shop, Buckley:
“Course was good - very beneficial. Would certainly recommend it to others and attend any future ones. Retailers can assume their customers will come back but the course taught us that you can’t rely on that - there’s always more you can do to inspire your customers.” 

Neil Allcock, Rushop Hall, Derbyshire:
“I was keen to get a delegate list because I felt there would be an opportunity to do business with one or two. In fact, we’ve invited one of the IT suppliers to quote for installing wireless and we’re going ahead with that”

Corinne Eliot, Deeside Balloon & Cards, Shotton:
“We found the course very informative and helpful - thoroughly enjoyed it. First course of its kind we’d ever been to. The course materials are very useful and we’ve highlighted different things we’re going to implement after our holidays. We’ve got renewed confidence and optimism after the course.”
