Thebe Exhibitions and Projects Group (TEPG) has retained the services of The Firehouse Communications (FHC) to manage public relations for the Business Opportunities & Franchise Expo (BOFE).
As a long standing expo under the TEPG umbrella, BOFE’s vision is to strengthen its position as a leading exhibition in Africa dedicated to developing entrepreneurship. This comprehensive expo brings together leading business opportunities, franchise options and business support service companies to an audience of successful and aspirant entrepreneurs.
The four-day Expo gives aspirant entrepreneurs the chance to diversify their business portfolios by taking advantage of new ventures and opportunities. The exhibition enables SMME companies to network with businesses and service providers. In addition, it forms an ideal platform for larger companies to source suppliers to help them to meet their BEE procurement requirements.
“FHC identifies with BOFE’s public relations needs and has developed an original strategy to build the spirit of entrepreneurship and encourage exhibitors to showcase their businesses. I am excited about building a strong professional relationship with FHC and look forward to reaping the rewards of all our hard work,” says Glynis Anderson, General Manager, TEPG.
Sandy Greaves Campbell, CEO of The Firehouse Group, says FHC is proud to partner with TEPG on this world-class event.
“BOFE is a ground-breaking exhibition that encourages interaction between entrepreneurs and industry experts. Initiatives which contribute to the successful development of small businesses in South Africa play a pivotal role in bolstering the economy. BOFE is not simply an exhibition; it also provides investment opportunities and promotes Black Economic Empowerment,” says Greaves Campbell.
“The Expo also gives entrepreneurs the advantage of being able to provide winning solutions with sustainable benefits for the communities they serve,” concludes Anderson.
BOFE takes place from 15 – 18 September, 2011, at the Coca-Cola dome. For more information, please visit: www.bofe.co.za.
