Barclays has become a key sponsor of a new conference about speeding up business growth.

The high street bank has backed the Grow Kent event taking place at Ashford International Hotel on Wednesday, November 30.

A team of six speakers will give advice on improving sales, marketing effectively, accessing finance and going from start up to the stock market.

Organiser Carole Black, from Best Business Events, said: “We have some amazing speakers who have bags of experience in helping businesses grow.

“They will be able to offer delegates new ideas and strategies that will challenge the way they think.

“If you’re really serious about accelerating the growth of your business, then I suggest you book a ticket before they are sold out.”

Martin Bonner, head of SME for Barclays in Kent, said: “Barclays has a strong track record in supporting scale up businesses and is uniquely placed to help and support ambitious businesses and their founders at all stages of growth.”

The event, for which the KM Group is a media partner, is also sponsored by MHA MacIntyre Hudson.
