BUSINESS people from Salisbury and the surrounding area will be meeting next Wednesday at Salisbury & South Wilts Golf Club.

The event, sponsored by Lloyds TSB and Business Link Berkshire & Wiltshire, is being organised by Business Clubs UK.

Tony Appleton, managing director of Business Clubs UK, said: "BC UK has organised similar events, sponsored by Lloyds TSB, in the region, which have been very successful.

"However, the response to this event has already exceeded expectations.

"Previous events have attracted more than 70 attendees and we are limiting the number at this event to 100."

The event starts with breakfast at 7am, followed by networking.

Lloyds TSB business manager Dave Shenton said: "Many people who run businesses want to network with their peers, but are reluctant to attend networking events because they do not wish to be put under a spotlight.

"The relaxed and friendly atmosphere of BC UK events takes the pressure off and enables attendees to promote their businesses effectively.

"Lloyds TSB is delighted to sponsor the event for our customers and other businesses," he said.
