About this Event

Have you had your big idea and invented a new product but not yet got it into the market?

Or do you already have some online sales and are now ready to take the next big step and secure your place on the high street?

Taking your product to market can sometimes be the most difficult part of the whole process – more so than coming up with the idea itself.

Here is an opportunity to have a one-to-one meeting with an experienced practitioner in product development, prototyping, researching markets, manufacturing, funding, and working out the route to market.

This event is run by Bob Lindsey of Thames Productions - queries to [email protected]

How to secure meetings with buyers and how to prepare for the questions they will ask
