Andover Business Expo

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010

The Andover Business Expo proved to be a real hit on the day with plenty of visitors and local businesses attending.

MBG had it’s own stand and welcomed plenty of visitors to the show with one of the freshly printed MBG flyers with our website and meeting information printed on it for quick reference.

Information about many MBG members was displayed on the stand with leaflets and business cards to take-away for visitors. With both still images and a video camera at the event there is bound to be plenty of evidence of the stand for those of you who weren’t there.

Read more about the Expo on the Andover Sound website and on the Andover Expo blog. Photos from the event can be seen here.
