Abid Naser - Business Star 2009

20 March, 2010

Abid has been involved with the Tewkesbury Branch of the FSB for a number of years now.   He knows how important it is to support small local businesses, and how difficult it can be setting up a new business in the current economic climate. 

In appreciation of Abid’s hard work and for all the time he has put in supporting the work of the local FSB branch, he has been awarded the prestigious FSB Business Star Award 2009

Abid was very surprised to receive the award which was presented to him by Sue Lambert, FSB Branch Chair and Bruce Keen, the branch Regional Representative.   
 
'It was a surprise to me but appreciated that highly.  Fellow committee members of our local FSB branch have put a great effort to assist small businesses in our area and all are dedicated to help when possible.  I do thank them for this award and for the great team effort'.

Curry Friday @ Smartline

29 September, 2009

We thought Friday afternoon’s needed a helping hand, what with all the doom & gloom about in the media causing negative vibes, so we invited some of our old clients to come and meet some of our new ones for some nice food and a bit of social networking. Z & H Cuisine whom are a new client of Smartline provided the wonderful authentic Indian food which was loved by all, so big thanks to them. Over 30 people attended and the feedback was excellent, so as a result we are planning to do it again, so watch this space...

Special thanks to Rich for the photography on the day.

Breakfast Launch

13 May, 2009

We have successfully launched our first face2face breakfast in the region. The event was held on Wednesday 13th May and it was a great success. Over 30 businesses attended, and as a result we endeavor to hold the breakfast event at least once a month.

The venue ‘Sherdons Golf Centre’ delivered an excellent service all round, so it’s likely that we will use their facilities again.
