Creating Local Supply Chains
Meet the Buyer is our in-person event programme, designed to open real doors, and develop local supply chains.
We create events that bring together one of our partners with businesses that offer the services they need, to create new contract opportunities right here, in Gloucestershire.
For Gloucestershire SMEs: This is not a standard networking event. We deliver meaningful access to procurement teams, insights into their supply chain priorities, and the knowledge to position your business as a credible partner. This is your chance to be their new supplier.
For procurement teams: This is a face to face opportunity to connect with local businesses, shorten your supply chain, and meet the businesses you actively need to meet. These events are focussed, effective, and make a meaningful impact on your social value and procurement.
