CCR’s Business Potential has been Unleashed

Unleash2023 brought together the latest business thinking and best practices, geared to helping SMEs build sustainable success, here in Cardiff Capital Region. 

It was ‘The Day’ for enterprises of all sizes and sectors looking to future proof their organisation, maximise their potential, and meet like minds from across the business, political and academic spectrum.  

Look out for the future Unleash events being held throughout the Region – and take some time to click on the highlights posted here from the inaugural Unleash conference: an event that’s started something ‘Big’ for the business communities of South East Wales.

We had more customers at our stand than our team member could manage, so senior team stepped in to support. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the opportunities to speak to a relentless flow of potential customers. The whole team didn’t leave the stand all day, other than for a quick lunch.

A separate, face-to-face meeting with each of those potential customers, outside of the conference would have taken twelve months – but we were able to reach a large volume in one day. It couldn’t have gone any better.
