>> Spring into business - with Networking Essex plus the Craft Show at NEC

Show season is well underway and our team sprung into action last week by touring a few key shows. We started at the Networking essex - Spring into Business Expo and met a few new faces as well as caught up with old friends and customers.

We then headed down to the Creative Craft Show at the NEC, Birmingham and explored the city that is this show! There were some incredible businesses and it was very exciting to see all of their goods and find out what they are planning for the next few months.

Keep your eyes peeled on our LinkedIn page for an article reviewing the shows highlights.

"E-commerce sales are expected to grow 10.4% in 2023

Since 20.8% of retail purchases are expected to take place online in 2023, it's no surprise that e-commerce sales are supposed to increase as well. With more customers shopping online, your business can sell more and earn more as a result."
