Physically draining but extremely beneficial from a business perspective. An excellent way to identify potential business partners; it really cut down on the elapsed time I would have had to commit if I hadn't attended.

The FD Forum has given us exposure to senior Directors typically you would find difficult to meet within a normal sales approach. The Delegates attending had a need to be on board with agendas that aligned us with them. Very useful event for the Covion team.

It was an excellent conference programme and that coupled with the suppliers available provided a good opportunity to take time out to think about how to bring about improvement in my finance function and organisation.

The Forum is an excellent place to meet like minded people, discuss ones own experiences and network with a variety of delegates and suppliers. It is an extremely well organised event and I have met suppliers which I would never have met had I not attend
Jeanette Barrowcliffe – Finance Director

A very well organised and constructive event. As usual suppliers continue to engage with new products and services which provide food for thought and the workshops and seminars give the opportunity for personal development away from the workplace.

I found the forum very useful (and if honest more useful than I expected). The seminar sessions were all informative and thought provoking and the meeting schedule has proved very valuable - I already have 3 follow-up meetings.

Good to network with a wide range of individuals and businesses which I would not normally meet

The first forum I have attended since 2002 and the event is as good as ever. A heady cocktail of supplier meetings, seminars, conference sessions and all important networking - the benefits of attending can not be overstated.

A great format to meet other professionals from your field of expertise, listen to some inspirational speakers and have 3 days of meeting potential suppliers that your company can do future business with. Its a busy 3 days but worth the time commitment.

Exceeded expectations. Very informative and excellent choice of guest speakers. Suppliers were not in your face and very professional and approachable.
