On the day, they will each have facilitated meetings with local firms providing everything from electrical and facilities maintenance, to office and IT equipment, marketing and professional services. Attendees will also enjoy beneficial networking opportunities and learn from subject matter experts discussing brand identity, driving sales and business growth strategies. The 2025 Meet the Buyer will take place in Kingfisher Country Estate, Templepatrick on Thursday, November 6 between 8.30am -1.30pm. Networking tickets are available to book online now.
