An event described as the ‘first of its kind’ was held at Northwood School on Saturday 12th November organised by The KSIMC of London.
The event saw small business owners come together to showcase their products and services to other members, allowing connections and business relationships to be formed with like-minded local people.
Sukaina Nurmohamed, Executive Committee Member of The KSIMC of London and Event Organiser said: “It was great to see the wide array of businesses on the day, over 40 businesses took part from Lettings Agents to Web Designers to Fitness Supplement companies to name a few. It was great to see the talent, creativity and abilities in our community all under one roof supporting and drawing inspiration from one another. We are truly blessed to have such a vibrant community with many entrepreneurs following the pursuit of their dreams and passion.
“With over five hundred attendees at the event there was a great buzz and the atmosphere was phenomenal. We were also fortunate to receive great words of advice by our guest speakers.”
