Are you an Engineering or Manufacturing Business based in County Durham?

Are you looking to build repeatable, scalable sales success?

Would you like the opportunity to exhibit at EMCON - one of the UK's biggest Engineering and Manufacturing shows?

Durham Business Opportunities Engineering and Manufacturing Programme


​The DBOP Engineering and Manufacturing Programme is a business support programme designed to help County Durham engineering and manufacturing businesses overcome barriers to sales  and win new contracts in 2022.
​
Entry onto this programme also includes exhibition space at EMCON 2022, one of the UK's biggest engineering and manufacturing shows, and advice on how to maximise sales opportunities when exhibiting.  

Benefit from a combination of one-to-one specialist consultancy, training workshops and online resources aimed at supporting your business in increasing sales opportunities.

As well as tailored support, businesses will benefit from regular live workshops, recorded online training sessions and valuable networking opportunities.
“The business was only three weeks old when we went to EMCON. The DBOP team gave us great support – helping us get the stand together and to create marketing materials.
​
At the show itself we picked up three or four really good leads that have led to some big projects and ultimately allowed us to grow. We returned again the following year as it was so good for exposure.”

●      A Sales Success networking event with other members of your cohort, members of the Engineering and Manufacturing Network, key members of Business Durham to celebrate and recognise your success and follow up on other opportunities available for your business
“This support was good value for money as we don’t have the in-house expertise to produce marketing materials and we can re-use them when required.

Business Durham do a good job. They are proactive in making contact with you as a newly formed company on their patch. The challenge for new start-ups is making the time to meet with your advisor – but do it. Make the investment as it pays dividends in the long run.”
