Local businesses will have a unique chance to boost their own expertise at an event on Thursday, 21 January at the H.G. Wells Conference & Events Centre in Woking.

Woking Ask The Experts is a free, one-day event for local businesses eager to increase their knowledge and expertise while preparing themselves for the upturn. Attendees will have the opportunity to benefit from free confidential and professional one-to-one advice from 30 specially-selected, locally-based business experts all under one roof.

With such a wide variety of local businesses attending the event, questions will be diverse and will range from ‘How do I reduce my overheads, minimise waste, and increase profits?’ to ‘ How can I generate more traffic to my website?’ or ‘How do I protect my intellectual property?’

The experts will have the answers to these and many more business questions and can provide objective, practical advice to help move businesses forward. Each business attending the event will also have the chance to receive up to £1,500 worth of post-event vouchers from the 30 business experts. The vouchers will be valid for up to six months and will offer a variety of products and services including reduced memberships, free professional advice, one-to-one coaching and more.

Woking Ask the Experts, sponsored by Surrey Chambers of Commerce, Woking Town Centre Management, Morrison’s Solicitors, and Business Link, is the first event of its kind to take place in Surrey. A total of 420, bookable, 20-minute, one-to-one, advice sessions will be available on the day, and the event will be structured so that visitors can drop in when they want for all or part of the day.

The business topics will be categorised under four main headings in four corresponding zoned areas within the H.G. Wells Centre –

• Reduce Overheads
• Grow your Business
• Up Skill your People
• Keep it Legal

As well as stimulating the local economy by encouraging local businesses to support local businesses, this unique event also promises excellent networking opportunities to make new contacts with 300 local companies. There will be no sales pitches.

Inspirational speaker and business guru Robert Craven – acclaimed as one of the UK’s most sought-after speakers on the subject of entrepreneurship and business growth – will also be at the event to share his top tips for success. Other guest speakers are yet to be announced.

Woking Ask The Experts is going to be a fantastic event for local businesses; it is very rare that we are given the chance to gather so many experts under one roof and draw on such resources for free. “I would strongly urge anyone serious about growing their business to grab this opportunity with both hands,” said Louise Punter, Chief Executive of Surrey Chambers of Commerce.
