Testimonials

Adrian Gallagher,Career Wear,Letterkenney
“I found the event very useful as a way to discover the workings and processes of large companies’ buying policies, which hopefully increases the chance of my own company winning more contracts in the future. During the networking event I also made contact with a number of potential customers from Northern Ireland in areas that I had not anticipated, which was very beneficial.”
Cathy Gamble,Typerite,Warrenpoint
“Network+Getwork gave us the opportunity to meet new customers in the Republic who would normally be quite difficult to get introductions to. We were able to sit down face to face with decision-makers, enabling us to present our products and services in a very positive manner and resulting in an important new business contract”
Michael Doherty,ECIS,Derry
"Our participation in Network+Getwork proved invaluable. Pre-arranged meetings with buyers with substantial purchasing budgets from some of Northern Ireland’s largest employers is a dream for a small company. The pre-selection of companies gave us confidence that large buyers were interested in our specific area, while the speed networking sessions with other companies provided great potential business opportunities"
Ray Doyle,Chirl Sourcing,Dublin
“We found the business potential excellent and got great advice on how to present effectively and pitch for new business. We will definitely be attending future Network+Getwork events and would highly recommend this type of forum as an effective method of increasing business and networking with other companies”
Stephen Murray,FG Wilson,Larne
We realised that there may be opportunities to review our supply base across the Island and so were delighted to host a Network+Getwork event which delievered on those expectations. Even though FG Wilson sets high and challenging standards for our suppliers we are delighted that a number of requests for quotation were issued following the purchasing event and a number of new companies have already been added to our preferred vendors list. As a result of Network+Getwork, I would encourage other large purchasers to consider participating in the follow-up programme.
