West Berks Council Meet the Buyer 25th June 2026

 I am delighted to be giving a short presentation at the West Berks Council Meet the Buyer event at Shaw House 25th June 2026.

I say short because I don't want to put you off.  There will be ample time to meet real buyers.

All sorts of interesting topics.  I shall be talking about SMEs in public procurement, and there also demonstrations of In-Tend, a question and answer panel, a discussion of frameworks and adult social care (including the use of AI, interestingly).

If you are interested, the full details are here.  It is free, so all you are committing is your time.

Hope to see you there.

Calderdale Meet the Buyer postponed

The Meet the Buyer event in Calderdale scheduled for 21st November 2012 has been put back until early in 2012 - probably February. That's the bad news. The good news is that the delay is allowing us to bring in some new additional Buyers, including at least one very large company.
Also at the same time we shall be announcing plans for 2 or 3 further events focussing on different industry sectors.
