Best Of Bristol Business ExhibitionThe One Stop Shop For All Your Business ServicesTues 24th Sept 2013 10am - 3pm Ashton Gate Conference Centre Free Entry Sponsored by

Meet potentialclients in personWHEN Neil Kinnerly started out onhis own after years in corporate fin-ance, he was not sure what sort ofbusiness he wanted, except that ithad be to be online.

So it may seem strange he is nowrunning Bristol’s biggest businessshow, which is all about meeting po-tential customers in person.

As the born-and-bred Bristolianputs it: “T here’s no substitute formeeting face to face, eyeball to eye-ball, because ultimately people dobusiness with people they like andwho they trust.”

But for the 51-year-old who lives inRangeworthy, the journey has beenan obvious one.

The Best of Bristol Business Ex-hibition at the Ashton Gate confer-ence centre on Tuesday, September24, will bring together more than 120exhibitors hoping to look potentialcustomers in the eye.

Neil expects the event to draw morethan 500 delegates, based on the suc-cess of recent shows.

It wasn’t always such big numbers.The first event, about five years ago,had just 15 exhibitors at the smallervenue of Cadbury House Hotel.

“This will be our 14th event,” s ay sNeil. “It started as a networkingevent for our online advertising cli-e n t s. ”

Neil previously worked at Bristolsupermarket chain Somerfield ascommercial and financial director,but left in the buyout that eventuallysaw the chain swallowed by the Co-opbrand.

“When I left Somerfield I didn’thave a specific business in mind.What I did know is that having done25 years working in the corporateworld, I wanted to do something form e, ” he says.

“I looked at a lot of different op-portunities, such as buying a smallshop, but I felt the internet was theplace that was growing extremelyquickly and my feeling was to get into

business connected to the internet.”So he bought the Bristol franchise

of an online advertising directorycalled Best Of.

It has listings for up to five busi-nesses in each category, chosen byNeil to represent the “best of ” theirkind.

After a time some of the clientswanted more than just advertising.Neil explains that for consumer busi-nesses such as pubs or restaurants,the online directory is enough.

But businesses who provide ser-vices to other businesses want toknow who they are buying from.

So Neil organised a networkingeve n t .

“People enjoyed it so much theywanted us to do more,” he says. “Butwhen you go to a business networkingevent, some people are good at net-working and some people are not.

“The ones who are not drift into acorner and talk to the people theyalready know.

“What they really need is to reachthe person on the other side of theroom who might help their busi-n e s s.

“We thought about this issue andfor the second event we invited anumber of delegates to bring along asmall banner.

“We provided them with a table andcreated some points of interestaround the room.

“And it’s grown from there. It’sbecome Bristol’s biggest businessshow with over 100 exhibitors at-tending – last time (in March).

“For the next event we have alreadysold 120 stands so we expect it to bebigger again.

“That means even more people tomeet face to face, eyeball to eyeballand more business to be done.”� Exhibitor prices range from £200 –£300 with a 50 per cent discount forBest of Bristol and FSB members.People interested in the event shouldcall Neil on 0117 911 4223.
