Each of the speakers had a different slant on maximising opportunities and leaving no stone unturned in gaining new business. Thanks GMG!”

Peter Stewart, Marketing and Administration Assistant at Sittingbourne and Milton Regis Golf Club said: “Not only did the day give me some fresh ideas to develop our business but there were some simple-to-engage ideas about minimising our risks and reducing our outgoings, it was an inspiring event”
