Welcome to the February edition of our Partners4Business Network monthly newsletter.
To all our new members I would like to extend a warm welcome and hope you can find a good contact or partner for your business amongst the ever growing number of business contacts listed in the P4B database. Please don't forget to add your company logo and a head and shoulders photo of yourself to your profile. It really will make your profile a lot more interesting and help attract new contacts to your business / organisation.

Event Update
I am pleased to say that the New Directions in Personal Care conference which was held in Leeds on the 17th February, was a great sucess. Over 90 delegates attended and took part in over 250 separate 1-2-1 meetings. Organised by Personal Care Team at Yorkshire Chemical Focus, the event sought to facilitate the formation of partnerships that enhance the profitability and competitiveness of members of the personal care supply chain.
