Our biggest ever year
Nick Moss on 05/01/2010
2009 ended very well with an amazing turn out at the Olympia Business Startup show. It seems like we have been raising the bar for several years, but there is no doubt we have risen to a new level. Business Startup has to be one of the most successful exhibitions in the UK today.
But 2010 promises to be the biggest year we have ever seen. Business Startup is continually growing, www.startupoverseas.co.uk is seeing a meteoric rise and with numerous new exhibitions being launched at Excel and Olympia, we are going to be very busy.
We are on a mission of mercy.

Portishead 10K
Nick Moss on 21/09/2009
Well done to Reggie, Stephen, Jeff, Nick and Hixy on completing the Portishead 10k run. Given the fact that Hixy was dressed as a naval officer and was unable to walk a mere 7 hours before the race started, a time of 1hr 15 was pretty impressive.
