Putting plans into place

According to an article in the Independent last week, the majority of us consumed a staggering 6,000 calories on Christmas Day (that's equivalent to 12 Big Macs!) So despite the fact that you may have to loosen your buckle a notch, we hope you had a fabulous Christmas with plenty of cheer. Of course the fun isn't over yet and in just three days time we will all be over-indulging again as we see in the New Year with family and friends; and maybe put into place a New Year's resolution too!

If your first plan of the year is to boost business and increase sales - we are delighted to be able to offer a helping hand. Harrogate Christmas & Gift has the best that the industry has to proffer in terms of exhibitors, so check out this website to see what the show has in store.
