The Growing Your Own Business Exhibition & Conference on 26 & 27 January 2007 was a tremendous success, with packed seminars and busy aisles, full of business people serious about growing their business.

Highlights of the event included Jayne Lawton's inspirational story of how she nuturured gardening business, Grobox Gardens, into a thriving business, how Tom Bloxham has gone from studentdom to success in the business world with his hugely profitable Urban Splash property development, and Rachel Elnaugh's words of wisdom of rising to the challenge of staying in business through both the good times and the bad.

The event provided visitors with an invaluable forum of advice and services to help grow their business, with exhibitors ranging from marketing and sales specialists to government bodies, and financial experts to communications companies.
