Destination Growth 2009

Over 400 businesses questioned recently by the East of England Development Agency (EEDA) confirmed they are feeling positive in the face of economic adversity.

Reflecting this confident mood, over 30 per cent said they are expecting to grow by approximately 25 per cent in the next three years; with nearly 20 per cent expecting a 50 per cent growth increase in the same period!

The survey questioned business leaders planning to attend Destination Growth '09 - the region's biggest business and networking event on 3 November at AirSpace, Duxford.

Angus Thirwell, co-founder Hotel Chocolat, will be speaking at the event about growing a business - and he should know. In only 5 years, the Hotel Chocolat brand has grown from a twinkle in the eye to the UK's leader in super premium chocolate, collecting the Sunday Times Virgin FastTrack 100 award for the fastest growth over the last 3 years.
