Foundation will be exhibiting and taking part in the Great Green Debate at this year’s Business Northwest exhibition and conference.

Business Northwest is a free to attend event that provides businesses with the opportunity to learn cutting edge business techniques, listen to inspiring keynote speakers, network with likeminded individuals and source products and services from a diverse exhibition.

Now in its fourth successful year the event is being held at Manchester Central on 28-29th October 2009.

Foundation’s very own Chief Officer, Mark Turner, will be appearing as a panellist at Wednesday’s Great Green Debate. The debate will bring together experts in the fields of sustainability and business who will respond to questions from the local business community, discuss the problems faced by companies looking to make themselves more environmentally attractive and offer solutions and advice on how they can develop sustainable strategies.

SMEs are invited to submit questions prior to the debate. To submit a question register online to attend Business North West and email greendebate@nwe.co.uk. If your question is selected you will be contacted prior to the event and will be invited to ask your question during the debate.

Both days will also host a full line up of keynote speakers, including Michelle Mone, founder of Ultimo Lingerie and Mark Howe, Country Director of Google UK; informative and educational seminars; speed networking and investment advice from top business angels. And of course, day one would not be complete without the region’s largest business networking drinks held in the Network Café.
