Meet the Buyer is returning in 2018 on Thursday 22nd November!
The popular event gives Stockport suppliers the opportunity to promote their goods and services to buyers acting on behalf of some of the largest public sector organisations from Rochdale, Stockport, Trafford and Tameside through a series of tailored appointments.
Meet the Buyer events are an excellent opportunity for local small and medium sized businesses to get past the gatekeeper and talk to those in a position to buy their products or services.
The event matches the goods and services offered by businesses with the current buying requirements of participating purchasing teams, to ensure supplier businesses meet with companies actively seeking the service they offer, making the ‘pitching’ process more efficient. This year there are 9 purchasing teams participating.
