Forum To Help Businesses Get In Position

The autumn forum in a series being staged in Swindon by HSBC will look at how businesses can position themselves effectively.

On Wednesday October 29 breakfast will once again be hosted on behalf of HSBC by Banks BHG accountants, at their Stratton offices. HSBC the forums are being held away from the town branches as a way of reaching out into the business community.

During two similar events held earlier on in the year, around 80 businesses came along to mix with like minded-business people and listen to the wise words of the guest speakers. The speaker at this forum will be Roger Plahay of Sandler Training who'll explore with the audience and challenge how businesses can present themselves and their products or services in a way that resonates more strongly with clients and potential customers.

Roger, a qualified charted accountant who spent two decades in the corporate world before establishing up Sandler Training, has trained and coached business professionals across Wiltshire, Bath and Bristol, helping them break the conventional selling rules and win more business. 

The forum will be ran by Ryan Starr, HSBC Business Specialist Team Leader, supported by his colleague Caroline Norrey, HSBC Business Specialist.

Caroline said: “We’re hoping this forum will be as successful as the two we held previously. They give businesses a chance to get together and network over breakfast, and also get some expert advice on a range of topics. We’re looking forward to Roger’s talk, and are grateful to Banks BHG for providing such a great venue.”

Director at Banks BHG, , Richard Matthews said: “We’re delighted to once again host HSBC’s forum. It brings added value to our own clients, and makes great use of our facilities here. We’d be happy to hear from other organisations looking for somewhere to host business-orientated events.”
