Apprentice’s eye view of 2010 Hull Business Expo.

Today I went to the Hull Business Expo at the Bonus arena. Before we entered the building there were lots of flags promoting the event and some cars which could be won, so we entered the raffle and took some pictures. As we went into the building there were lots of stalls promoting their businesses which were interesting as I had the chance to meet some interesting people and find out what they were promoting.



The first stall we went to I was introduced to a man and a young girl similar to my age who worked for a company that maintain our printer. This was interesting as I had the chance to learn more about what they did. As we walked round we started talking to lots of different people and took some information from the stalls. At the event there was a lady promoting the apprenticeship scheme for Hull Collage I had the chance to have a chat with her and tell her how my apprenticeship was going which was good. We also bumped into a lady who is a makeup artist and has a company (Hayley SFX) which does special effect makeup which I found interesting.



We also had a chat to a company which makes custom made stationary and equipment for businesses which was interesting as I got to see some of the different things they do and they took our business card and showed us brochures on all the different equipment. We also met a company which provides eco friendly bins for recycling waste we had a chat to them and found more about what they did and the different places they cater for. We had a look round all of the stalls and found that some of them may be useful to us in the future. It was nice to see all the different displays and receive free gifts and chat to the people at the event and I really enjoyed it as it was something new and was defiantly worth going.
