PASSIONATE About Business is the Federation of Small Businesses East and North Herts' premium event for spring 2008.

The event, which takes place on February 28, promises to be an important and enjoyable night out for likeminded businesses and offers them the chance to find new customers and suppliers and learn more about how important good customer service is for their business.

Attenders will also have the chance to meet FSB service providers and local politicians and listen to updates on FSB services. This year's keynote speaker will be Derek Williams of The Wow! Awards.

Tables of mixed businesses will be set so that everyone has the opportunity to tell others about their business and guests can move to two more tables during the evening allowing them to maximise their opportunities.

The night is not just about business though as money will also be raised for local charities. Over £2,500 was raised last year and the FSB hopes people will enter its charity raffle for £5.

FSB would like to thank North Hertfordshire District Council, East Herts Council, Stevenage Borough Council and the Goldsmith Management College for their support and sponsorship and look forward to meeting their representatives on the evening.

Dress is smart casual and tickets are £15 for FSB members and £20 for non-members.

All you need to do is book a place before February 12 and bring plenty of business cards and brochures.

The venue is The Broadway Hotel in Letchworth Garden City.
