Business community inspired to make connections at Humber Business Week event

At the ‘Stand out from the crowd’ event at Hull Truck Theatre on Thursday – hosted by communications provider KC and Gosschalks Solicitors – business guru Nicky Pattinson shared the secrets of business success with representatives from local firms that included beauty therapists, designers, estate agents and construction companies. 

Her message – that by unlocking the aspects of your personality that can help you make powerful connections with others you can attract new business without the need for ‘hard selling’ – hit home with attendees. 

Amongst the local business people who attended was James Rule, Chief Executive of Hull FC. He said: “The event was fantastic and Nicky was an inspiring speaker. I picked up lots of tips that I’ll be putting into practice and judging by the reaction of other people who attended, they’ll be doing the same. 

“Local organisations really benefit from this type of event and the fact that it was completely free meant it was accessible to businesses of all types and sizes.” 

Nicky, who has helped companies of all types and sizes across the UK and internationally to increase their sales, said: “It was clear from the buzz in the room during and after the event that business people in the region are hungry to grow their businesses and make them more successful. 

“It was a privilege to share my experience with such a motivated audience. Great businesses are all about people, and I hope I’ve encouraged everyone who attended to make the most of their unique personalities to achieve greater business and personal success.” 

KC and Gosschalks are planning further events where local businesses can benefit from Nicky Pattinson’s advice. To register your interest in attending, just email Shirin Zandi at: shirin.zandi@kcom.com.
