What a great evening we had at the Buckinghamshire Business First AGM – with hundreds of members attending virtually, there was plenty of opportunity to make valuable connections and learn about some of the great innovations happening locally.

Innovation and diversification

We shared some fantastic videos from local businesses that managed to innovate and diversify through the different challenges they encountered during the pandemic. Cloudy IT, Orchard View Farm, ANT Telecommunications, Lata Lata and Bluebell Label were just some of the businesses that stepped up with great ideas in a time of great need.

Getting ‘Involved’ with a new virtual platform

We showcased an exciting new virtual platform called ‘Involved’, which helped us to host the AGM and make it an enjoyable and unique experience.
This platform enabled us to share lots of new information, hold votes at the AGM, create networking opportunities for businesses in the Networking Lounge, and lots more.

If you are interested in finding out more about the platform for future events you are organising, FoxWylie Agency can give you a free walkthrough of the platform, as well as an overview of other platforms available. See this offer here, or email kelly.shipp@foxwylie.com or call 01908 104114.
