Rob Barr, NFP Divisional Director for Access Group, comments “We have had yet another successful year at the CHASE exhibition. The event provides us with the opportunity to meet with key decision makers who are keen to seek solutions from industry experts such as ourselves. CHASE is also an excellent opportunity, making the most of our presence by raising money towards Charity.”
He adds, “This year, we also achieved a high degree of interest through our sponsored seminar with Ian Fairhurst from Cardinal Hume Centre, who spoke on; ‘Effective Fundraising & Marketing’, which had more than 60 delegates attend.”
