Three local businesses have joined forces to host the third "Open for Business" event in Swindon on Wednesday 26th March 2008.

The event consists of 15 different, 60 minute workshops and the whole day is completely free.

The event takes place at the University of Bath, Oakfield Campus, in Swindon, and commences at 12 noon with lunch along with a chance to network with other business people from around the area.

Richard Edwards, Marketing Director from Monahans says "Subjects are very wide ranging, from advice on how businesses can reduce their tax bill to motivating your employees."

The grand finale of the day will be a presentation from Tim Stevenson, Chairman of Travis Perkins plc. Formerly the Director of National Express Group, and Chief Executive of Burmah Castrol plc. He will draw on his experience with these major organisations to discuss some of the issues which any organisation needs to overcome to be successful.
