Horsham’s must event for businesses is back in 2013, marking a decade since its first outing and the County Times is proud to sponsor it.

Microbiz, held at Drill Hall, in Denne Road, on Saturday March 9 between 10am and 4pm, is free for anyone to visit, featuring stalls from exhibiting businesses, and seminars to share expertise on a range of different topics.

Pre-booking of seminars is open until 5.30pm on Thursday March 7 on their website www.horshammicrobiz.co.uk

Caron Porritt, who attended last year before setting up her own business, Implement Marketing, which offers advice on travel, tourism and leisure, would recommend the experience to anyone.

She said: “I was fresh out of redundancy so it was to get information on how to go it alone.

“I think it was extremely beneficial. I worked in the corporate world for 18 years, and things like IT were never my specialist subject, but when you go it alone it’s your responsibility, and you have all these services under one roof.

“I took the opportunity to walk around, network, and get a sense of what I needed to get myself started.”

The seminar schedule is: The perfect plan 10:15am to 10:55am, by Dee Blick, The Marketing Gym.

Top tips for start-ups and growing businesses 11:10am to 11:40am, by Bryan Elkins, Spofforths.
