Just got to say that Gaynor and David are doing a excellent job promoting the best businesses in Bolton. The 14 days of love campaign is a fantastic way for friends, clients and customers to show their appreciation of a business what ever field they may represent and give valuable feedback which in most cases would not have happened. Its easy to say you enjoyed something or that was brillient so why not tell them fillout a recommendation ad show the love to those who made you happy or went that extra mile.

A big thank you to David & Gaynor at the Best of Bolton for all their assistance with advertising, social media, networking and helping to promote my business this last 6 months. They are a very professional and friendly couple and their help in raising awareness of my business has been invaluable.

"Gaynor provided some very useful input and enhanced my knowledge of social media considerably. Her knowledge of Twitter, Facebook and Linked In is excellent and would recommend her services to anyone looking for practical assistance. Many thanks Gaynor"

Gaynor has dragged me kicking and sceaming into Social Media and gave me a brilliant 1:1 session on Twitter. I have been happliy tweeting ever siince and beginning to start to see results.Gaynor is very approachable at any time I have any queries.

I have also attended some of Gaynor's seminars and found her to be an excellent presenter, giving a good range of useful information businesses can quickly implement into their marketing strategies

I’m very grateful to you for last week’s social media masterclass. You delivered it really well, making it so clear and you really opened my eyes to the potential available in using it effectively and imaginatively (as you do).

Dave, you have confirmed my suspicions, first formulated when I witnessed your presentation at the Last Drop and reaffirmed at our meeting at the Regus building, that you are a person who gets things done. I look forward very much to us building a strong relationship through both Best of Bolton and B4B. I probably won't see you again until the B4B Christmas bash, as I'm delivering four day training courses, all over the South of England, for another few weeks. In the meantime, please maintain the infectious enthusiasm and obvious integrity which you so clearly bring to your work and I'll see you when the opportunity next arises. Thanks again for the referral.

I love the fact you can pick up the phone any time, day or night and either Gaynor or David will be there to help you.
I genuinely cant think of a time where they have let us down. They know everyone and always try to help you and your business do better.
If you are considering the Best of Bolton, all I will say is you wont regret it!

A big thanks to Gaynor for help and patience regarding Social Media espcially helping me to get great results for the vintage clothing sale which also helped me make new BforB contacts

I really enjoyed the speed networking and already we have received calls asking to book rooms - it worked for us!

Thanks Gaynor and David for giving us the opportunity to market the rooms at Castle Hill Centre. Without this we wouldn't have known where to begin

I went to the speed networking hosted by David and Gaynor last Thursday night and was amazed how easy it was to reach out to so many people in such a short space of time. I was panicking all day wondering what to say - my mouth opened and away I went. I am so looking forward to the next one.
I will get around to emailing everyone that attended the event and thanking them all for letting me bend their ears and hope that the information I provided on the night was useful and they will be reaching out to book that special meeting room at Castle Hill Centre, Bolton.

Take care and thank you to Gaynor and David and all the poor souls who sat and listened to me.

Hi Gaynor & David,

What a fantastic evening!

I made some absolutely great contacts and had a fantastic time – there is something strangely tiring, yet enjoyable about speed networking!!!

Good morning Gaynor and David hope you both had a lovely weekend?

Just want to say thank you for all your hard work you both put in organising the Speed Networking event last Thursday and I think this was a resounding success. This was an enjoyable interesting evening for me held within a warm welcoming environment with friendly and helpful staff. As I had never attended one of these types events before I was apprehensive but I was soon put at ease. It was interesting listening to what all the other people and organisations had to offer and I have started to respond to these in various ways.

I thought the Speed Networking was great. Initially, I was rather sceptical about the venue but the room and the staff at Cineworld both very good. Everyone in the room was full of enthusiasm and the atmosphere was much more hyped up than at a normal networking event. The only downside for me was that we didn’t get round to meet everyone, due to the time constraints which was a shame. Although we are not members of the Best of Bolton currently, I will be keeping my eye out for future events hosted by yourselves. Well done!

Fantastic evening!! I thought it worked very well and made for a lighthearted way of meeting lots of new like minded people. Those that prefer a quieter version of networking have many other routes.

For me, a great way to break the ice. Well organised and a fantastic venue.

Well done Gaynor and David - looking forward to other events

Absolutely loved it. Almost met every person who attended and had the opportunity to learn about their business albeit in a very short period of time. Normally I would only have time to met a few contacts at networking events as you always stay in your comfort zone and dont want to burst in on others groups having chats and visa versa. It was great fun and we all found the evening very entertaining

Thanks to Gaynor & David for putting on a GREAT event.
I hope do everyone didn't suffer too badly with information overload!!!
Generally, I find a little alcohol assists in the retention.
Looking forward to the next event.

What can I say !!! Yet another brilliant event organised by Gaynor & David, who always seem to make sure that networking can be fun whilst getting your message across to so many people.
All I need to do now is to find enough time to process the information I collected!!! Congrats again on a brilliant evening.

Hello,every one at the best of bolton. You are all wonderful people which is appreciated by most of the people who had the experience to meet with you all or if the person was helped by the best of bolton.
I am very thankful to Mr Nigel Howard because he is a very valuable part of the best of bolton. I think that it does not matter that which ever good word or good quality I write about him the best thing is that he is the best.For that I thank the director and the management team which includes a brilliant person called Coryn Lomax.

Just want to say Gaynor and David are doing an excellent job for the people and business of Bolton and need a big up for the work they are doing. The 14 days of love campaign is a fantastic way for friends, clients and customers to show their appreciation of a business what ever field they may represent and give valuable feedback which in most cases would not have happened. We have been overwhelmed by the response and the lovely comments that have been posted on the best of Bolton website and would like to take this opportunity to thank Gaynor, David and everybody who has left a comment, thank you. Nigel Howard
