Hi i just thought id start a thread giving everyone a chance from the area to promote their business/services.
I am a young entrepreneur looking for good quality local suppliers for a variety of businesses.
So i think it would be a good networking start point here, if you all give a breif description of the types of business and services you offer? (anyone else agree?!)
This could lead to increased turnover/revenue for all involved.
Hope you think its a good idea, and i look forward to seeing what can be supplied in my local area.
Thanks

Sorry only jusy noticed your post.
Basically Flyers are thicker, usually 300gsm so more like a postcard thickness, the extra thickness is ideal for postal drops etc as they go through letterboxes much easier without bending.
Leaflets are usually much thinner, around 130gsm/150gsm/170gsm, these are similar to letterhead thickness at around the 130gsm mark and 170gsm is slightly thicker and more like a take-away menu. As they are thinner they are ideal for hand-outs.
Hope that helps :-)

This is my first post on the forum so forgive any faux pas!
I'm launching myself in the world of freelance illustration (have a look at my gallery her on Business Forums for thumbnails or at my online gallery (I think the link is in my profile, but if not it is endsofinvention.biz) for a better idea of what I am up to.
I'd be interested to hear how an arts/creative business like mine could be of use to local businesses in the West Midlands.

Hello Everyone,
My name is Khalid and for the last 8 years I have been sourcing, manufacturing and importing products that are made in Hong Kong and China. Primarily I have been importing and having goods manufactured for wholesalers and distributors however I am now creating a number of channels where we will start offering our services and products to the general public as well as independants.
The list of products that I have suppliers for is vast and im sure if you search my threads you will find it (failing that pm me and I will email it over).
I have an office in Tyseley - Birmingham, Kowloon - Hong Kong and Shenzhen - China where I have full time staff looking after my own imports and also product sourcing requests for others.
I have imported everything from PlayStation 3's to Castor wheels to Household and Office Furniture to Machinery. I have become very good at what I do and would be happy to assist anyone that needs a hand either on this side or over in China/HK.
Best Regards
Khalid

Hi Software_MS,
Yes to both - however the iPhone we do not sell as it is unlocked and also it tends not to come with any warranty.

We are a Lease Option company (rent now buy later). We help first time buyers, self employed etc., move into a home of their own without needing a mortgage for at least the first 2-5 years. It is entirely different from the government one that has just been launched as our buyers get to keep 100% of the equity from day one together with any value they might have added by way of home improvements. We also help sellers get their homes sold more quickly using this method.To find out more please visit our website www.rent2ownhouses.co.uk (http://www.rent2ownhouses.co.uk) :)

I carry out fire risk assessments, give general fire safety advice, produce fire engineering solutions (where there might be a problem with Building Regs) and arrange fire training. I am an ex Fire Safety Officer with over 30 years experience and have undertaken over 400 risk assessments since retiring from the Fire Service 5 years ago.
In addition to factories, offices, shops, health centres, nursing homes and the like, my work has also taken me to many countries in Europe where I undertook assessments for the major tour operators on hotels and apartments.
I don't rip people off and my charges are very competitive. Hope I can be of help to UKBF members, especially in the Midlands.

Hi All
My name is Khalid and some of you will already know that I move alot of goods out of Hong Kong and China either for myself to sell or for clients on an import to order basis.
I have recently set up a new furniture manufacture, import and wholesale operation in Tyseley Birmingham (B11 2AB), It is located on Redfern Road directly opposite Bestway Cash & Carry.
I may be a little fish but you wont find better products and prices in the West Midlands.
I am able to supply each customer a unique range of products (even made to order) thus giving customer a USP other than price to compete on.
In stock I have the following (TRADE PRICES):
3 Door Wardrobe With Mirror + 4 Drawer Chester Drawers, + 2 Bedside Cabinets - £110
2 Door Wardobe + 4 Drawer Chester Drawers, + 1 Bedside Cabinet - £90
Coffee Tables From £15
Tempered Glass TV Stands (Black & Clear) From £25
Dining Table & 6 Chairs From £245
Dining Table & 4 Chairs From £145
Childrens Car Racing Beds (puts Argos & Next beds to shame quality and design wise) From £100 , with working headlights £150
Childrens Wardrobes - £90
Single Bed Headboards (Draylon Fan Type) - £3.50 each (inc legs, bolts)
Marble Top Table + 4 Chairs - £180
Office Chairs (similar to staples £169.99) - £50
I have literally 100's of catalogues for you to veiw different styles from, I can get products made from just a picture (as you will see when you visit) and I travel out to China to get the goods made myself so no middle men etc to mess things up.
If anyone would like more info or would like to do some business, feel free to pop in or call me.

I can offer VERY cheap advertising on a media that most will consider far too expensive to consider... motorsport! I'm based in Stone and race a BMW M3 in a national BMW only championship that visits all the main circuits from Silverstone to Brands Hatch, Donington Park to Oulton Park and even Croft in the North East. I missed 4 events this year and still finished 8th in a field of 32 cars!
This season I was sponsored by two companies who sponsored 2 events each for less than £1000 and their business name was prominent on both sides of the car for these events! The car is often on display at local events through the summer too! More info is on my website at zonemotorsport .co.uk and I have a 2009 sponsorship pricing sheet available to email on request.

This should be boom time for the trouble shooters such as myself. Actually we always seem to do better in the good times. This seems to be because there is a general reluctance to admit to having difficulties at an early stage and then delaying looking for outside help until administration or similar is the only answer.
If you have responsibility for a business then ask these questions
1 Does the current strategy mean that we survive in good shape if it takes a year for things to get better?
2 Are we making the tough decisions with the current team or are we just hoping for that miracle if only we keep plugging away?
If you have any doubts about your answer then you need to rethink and probably need an outsider to get you back on track. Since agencies cost so much more a direct hire makes more sense. Further a good man will establish whether he can get you a result since our own reputation is on the line.
Talk to somebody today. That will cost you nothing and you will usually find that that was the most difficult step in the whole process of getting back on track

Hi i just thought id start a thread giving everyone a chance from the area to promote their business/services.
I am a young entrepreneur looking for good quality local suppliers for a variety of businesses.
So i think it would be a good networking start point here, if you all give a breif description of the types of business and services you offer? (anyone else agree?!)
This could lead to increased turnover/revenue for all involved.
Hope you think its a good idea, and i look forward to seeing what can be supplied in my local area.
Thanks

We provide a wide range of security services, so not just a security guard, but also a range of others:
Key holding and alarm response - we hold keys to your premises, so if the alarm goes off, day or night, we attend and check the premises, to make sure everything is OK. In this age of health and safety and lawsuits, do you want to risk someone getting injured, being off work for a long time and then suing you? We are security experts, so know exactly what to do. If someone has broken in, we will stay at the location until Police arrive, and also we can arrange for somoene to repair the damage. Peace of mind for less than a £1/day.
Mobile patrol services - we visit your premises at random times during the night, to ensure that they are secure. A cost effective solution where a client can't afford to have a permanent security officer.
We have an office in Birmingham, and cover a large range of locations from this office.
