The focus on the first event is online trading. Nick Martin, E-Business Advisor with Invest NI, will offer a presentation on growing your sales through online market places such as Amazon and Ebay and is directed at both those with little or no e-marketing experience and those who wish to refine their skills.

Speaking of the event Banbridge District Council Chairman, Councillor Marie Hamilton said; “We are delighted to support this project because we as a Council are committed to supporting our local businesses.”
