Gatwick Diamond Meet the Buyers
 

Gatwick Diamond Meet the Buyer brings local, regional and national buyers together with local businesses in the region.

The next Meet the Buyers event will be held on 18th October 2017 at the Arora Hotel in Crawley.  The Buyers will come from all sectors including Business Services, Manufacturing & Innovation, Public Sector & Utilities, International Business and Construction & Infrastructure.

Alison Addy, Head of Community Engagement at Gatwick, said: “Gatwick Diamond Meet the Buyers is a fantastic opportunity for businesses of all sizes across the region and Gatwick Airport is delighted to continue our long-standing support for this programme.

The Airport’s GDP impact in the Gatwick Diamond has risen to £2.3bn and 36,000 jobs, meaning 10% of the Diamond’s economy can be traced back to the Airport, making us one of the largest economic drivers for the South East region.”

Rosemary concluded “This is a really exciting event for the business community.  I’ve been involved with Meet the Buyers for the past 16 Years and I’m delighted with the innovations being introduced for the 2017 Programme.  With the free seminars, the level of the Buyers and the intelligence that will be applied to the matching process, we are sure to see a real impact on the local economy.”
