THE CLOTHING KING IN THE DRAGONS’ DEN After buying the luxury menswear brand Hawes & Curtis for £1 in 2000, Touker Suleyman went on to acquire Ghost London, which has since seen a complete makeover and been turned into a semi- luxurious brand. Now a star of the BBC’s Dragons’ Den, Touker’s business portfolio is consistently growing with new and exciting projects. After leaving school, Touker’s first profession was accountancy, but he soon moved into manufacturing with his brother. Following the liquidation of one of his companies, Touker was forced to sell off his home in order to repay debts. Never to be deterred, Touker bounced back with Low Profile, a manufacturing business that used to supply Ralph Lauren Europe from their factory in Turkey. Having noticed that Hawes & Curtis was for sale, and due to his strong background in manufacturing, Touker purchased the business for

£1 and after paying off the £500, 000 debt, the brand was transformed. Hawes & Curtis recently celebrated its 100th birthday and currently has stores in the UK, Germany and UAE, with plans for their first US retail outlet in New York by the end of 2016. With his desire to grow his business portfolio further, Touker ventured into women’s fashion and acquired Ghost in 2008; the re-branded ‘Ghost London’ is now taking the industry by storm. One of Touker’s most recent investments is Matchstick Monkey, a teething brush for babies. His vision is to build the whole brand and create an extensive range of baby products, so watch this space!

Don’t miss out! Get there early.

Or the US$44bn valuation of Google’s trademarks. Or the US$20bn a year earned by the US book industry – don’t miss out on your share of the IP cake…

Whether you’re looking for the people that can take your new business off the ground, or you’re an experienced firm seeking the contacts to help you increase your size or explore a new area of operation, Speed Networking is the most thrilling business event you will attend! Speed Networking is exactly as the name suggests. It’s a networking session designed to give you the maximum amount of new contacts in the minimum amount of time. All you do is sit down and use your allotted 30 second timeframe to try to impress a potential new client, supplier, or partner,

before they then do the same to you. After one minute, you move on and do it again, and again, and again. The process is so straightforward and the benefits are huge. By the end of your session,

you will have connected with 40 new contacts and started some new and long lasting professional relationships that will provide your business venture with a greater chance of success.

HOW DOES IT WORK? Speed Networking is all about making the maximum contacts in the minimum time, so have your 30-second pitch ready! Here’s how it works: • • • • • •

BUSINESS CONNECTIONS

HOW DOES IT WORK? 1.

Write down what your business is looking for (a web designer, a sales team, a logo, etc).

Pin it to the Business Connections wall, along with your business card.

Come back at the end of the day to collect all the relevant business cards pinned to yours.

CONNECT WITH THOUSANDS OF NEW PROSPECTS, PARTNERSHIPS AND SUPPLIERS

Quite possibly the easiest way you’ll ever make contact with tens of thousands of serious business people… As Europe’s biggest business exhibition and conference with 25,000 visitors attending across its two days, every one of The Business Show’s visitors is a potential business partner, supplier, or client. It’s an amazing hotbed of networking on a scale that you just can’t find anywhere else. The problem is that even if you spent all day everyday doing nothing other than networking on

the show floor you will still only have reached a tiny portion of your potential contacts. If only there was a way you could let everyone know what you’re looking for and that you take your business seriously enough to attend Europe’s fastest growing business event…that’s where Business Connections comes in! Business Connections is always a huge draw at The Business Show because it is such an easy and efficient way to reach out to tens of thousands of visitors every bit

as serious about their business as you are about yours. The Business Connections area has a wall where you can post and reply to notices, sorted by industry. The idea is simple: proudly pin your business card to the wall for all to see. If you’re looking to make a particular kind of connection, say so – and potential partners will pin their card to your request. Make sure you scan the wall for people looking for what you can offer and respond by pinning your card to their request and pick up some extra clients! It’s beautifully straightforward and hugely effective, which is why many of our regular visitors make a beeline straight for it when the doors open.

That’s it! Don’t forget to pin your card to answer other requests during the day…

Introduction to Trademarks - Protecting and Enforcing Your Brand

Personal Guarantees for the Business – Are You Protected?

Jason Chester Marks & Clerk

Professor Tony Granger PG Protect Limited

A strong brand is typically the most valuable asset a company owns. They’re the identifier through which consumers can establish the commercial origin of goods and services, and they possess capacity to communicate other information pertaining to a product, group of products or company. This talk provides a brief introduction to trademark law so you can understand the basic process, substantive issues and mechanisms for protecting and enforcing your brand.

Many business owners have provided personal guarantees to banks, lenders, landlords and others to secure finance for the Business. If the business fails or the lender calls in the loan and the company cannot pay, then a call could be made on the Guarantor to do so. Often a joint property owner such as a spouse has also signed as Guarantor, and the family home and other personal assets could be lost as a result.

Niels Vanden Buverie TeamLeader

What do you want to achieve with your company or organisation? Everyone has his or her own objectives, but there are two that come up virtually every time: increased growth and increased sales. That’s easier said than done. In many firms, there seems to be some sort of ‘brake’ put on growth. Where is this brake? And how can you release it, so you can go full steam ahead? More marketing, may be what you’re thinking. But remarkably often, the problem is located in a different phase of your commercial process: lead management. Leads are coming in, but too few are converted into customers.

Failure Guaranteed: Eight Tips to Ensure Your Project Goes Wrong!

Turning Brexit Into a Business Opportunity

George Shaw Exact (UK) Ltd

Ian Cass Forum of Private Business

Before getting started, let’s quickly define what we mean by project failure. It’s quite simply coming up short when it comes to any one or more of the project deliverables on time, on budget, and to the expected quality. So a failing project could be down to anything from budget overrun to low margins to (non-billable) over-servicing to late delivery. Without any clear analysis of your strategy and business goals, you’ll lay a solid foundation for failure.

“Back on the 27th June the Forum responded to the decision to leave the EU to key political figures outlining a 10 point plant to help grow the economy. Ian talks about what our member’s reactions and what they wanted to see from our leaders and how they are now using Brexit as an opportunity to now contribute massively to a bright future ahead of the UK”

How to Accelerate Your Business Sales via the Power of Networking

Why Running Your Business From a Single Cloud Solution Makes Sense

Jason Dutton 4 Networking

Will Mcintee OneBizz

Are you sat aggressively waiting for the phone to ring? Ring, dammit, ring! Every business needs appointments and sales are the lifeblood of every business. Networking allows you to grow your profile nationally and develop vital contacts who get to meet, like, know and trust you and that’s when your sales will fly. 4Networking is the UK’s only joined up business network and Managing Director Jason Dutton will share his top tips to turbo charge your networking.

Today, too much time is taken up in businesses of all shapes and sizes managing a bewildering array of IT hardware, software and trying to get them to work together. Larger businesses and organisations may have a dedicated IT team to look after these solutions. However, the number of dedicated IT heads within small to medium sized businesses is declining fast. This in itself leads to a challenge of not only technology management but also the pain of managing numerous vendors – all in all a big drain on resources within the business.
