Expo

"We’ve had not as religious Jewish people, religious Jewish people. And more importantly, everyone's been mixing in the same room and chatting to each other, being together."

"I think it's been really nice to see lots of female business owners and of people from all over our community."

"We’ve done lots of kind of smaller expos over the years, and you've clearly marketed this perfectly"

"What an event. You know what? Put me down for next year. The footfall has been amazing. The atmosphere is brilliant. The food, of course, is also very nice. But what a vibe. We've spoken to so many people today. We've got so much to follow-up on. There's many people to chase up."

"It's amazing how many people have turned up. We're really, really impressed."

"I think it needs to be happening on a yearly basis"

"The event has been absolutely amazing. Turnout's been fantastic. Feedback's been really, really good. Loads of potential new clients and loads of potential new leads. Lots to work off tomorrow. Brilliant turnout. Fantastic, fantastic event."

"Felt it was great meeting with people, reminding our faces, our names, and was really surprised with the footprint, how many people came."

"It's been unbelievable to be here just to see how the whole community's got together and what you've arranged and put on over here is Unbelievable. It's been amazing everyone's getting together here to help each other Everyone's got their own interests and obviously but they're all here to help each other"

"Pleasantly surprised of the numbers that were coming here."

"It's been great to be here today, met lots of people, lots of friendly faces. I think what's great about this is you're meeting people that you already know. So it's just expanding that network and tapping into people that you already had dealings with and hopefully boosting those connections. It's really nice the way everyone really genuinely wants to support each other. The event was amazing, would love to do it again next year."

"We'd love to see it grow and develop, and more women join us in the workspace. It's been really, really enjoyable to be here and to partner with people, collaborate with people, speak with people, and love to see it develop more in this area, particularly for the women."

"Maybe slightly bigger next year because everyone is really, really buzzing and a little bit more space would have been brilliant."

"The room has been buzzing from the offset, lots of business being made, got loads of contacts to follow up on. Can't wait for the same expo this time next year. We'll reserve a good pitch."

"The amount of people came through is also amazing. Unbelievable. I think it's got potential to be even bigger."

"Was asked if we want to see it next year …..it's not whether we want to see… it's where we go to do it ….needs to be a much bigger place we've got every second person coming in and saying I want to bring my business here"

"It's amazing how many people have turned up we're really really impressed."

"Certainly this is the busiest business Expo Networking Event I have ever been to - and the most friendly community and set of businesses."

"The event had a great range of exhibitors and visitors and a very pleasant atmosphere all round."

"It was lovely to network with clients and people in general."

"It was an excellent initiative, very well run, and a real credit to the work you and JCommerce are doing for the community. The atmosphere was positive, focused, and productive for everyone attending. We were very pleased to exhibit and found it a valuable opportunity. Your organisation and attention to detail really made a difference."

"Norman what a brilliant event! Everyone looked like they were having a good time, and there was a lovely atmosphere, very friendly."

"I am uber impressed with what you have pulled off - I did not think it was possible."

"For the first time, there was a pride in Jewish businesses in Manchester."

"I popped into the expo on a whim and made 11 extremely useful contacts including two who I will be giving Work to tomorrow! As a buy to let landlord I found the expo to be absolutely fantastic!"

"Was so well organised and packed crowd."

"Such a great networking event! A shame I didn’t arrive earlier, but I was truly impressed by what Manchester pulled off"

"Manchester is amazing we have so many entrepreneurs fabulous to see. Next year iyh in yerushaliyim. But if not I'm joining..."

"To me, it seemed super successful. There was a buzz in the hall and was very busy."

"Superb event. Rare you go to an event so well attended by relevant people."

"You guys did such an amazing job on it and the atmosphere was brilliant"

"No doubt you are going to need much larger premises next time for all those who didn’t exhibit will come to realise their mistake on not exhibiting."
