WITH just one week left to go, organisers of the annual Herefordshire and Worcestershire Business Festival are in a spin!

Prestige car company, Morgan Motors, from Malvern, has offered visitors to the festival a chance to "win a spin" in the new Morgan Runabout.

The eagerly-anticipated Morgan Runabout, launched in January, will be making its local debut at the festival, due to take place at the Three Counties Showground, Malvern, next Thursday, March 13.

"Visitors to the Business Festival will not only have the opportunity to marvel at Morgan's classic and world-renowned style, but also the chance to drive it!" said Paul Dawson, media executive for the Chamber of Commerce, Herefordshire and Worcestershire, which organises the festival.

"Morgan is offering the chance to 'win a spin' for the day in the new, hand-built Runabout, simply by dropping your business card into the box at the business festival.

"The lucky person whose card is drawn out will win the car for a day, which is a prize to turn everyone's head!"

Now in its second year, the free business festival is expected to attract thousands of visitors to view the 110 exhibitor stands representing every sector of business in the two counties.

There is also an extensive programme of business workshops, as well as networking facilities, a "chill out" zone, a buyer event, industry-specific zones and an internet caf.

Keynote speakers this year include Mo Mowlam, former Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Nigel Griffiths, Minister for Small Business, and Will Carling, former England rugby star turned successful businessman.

With entry to the Business Festival free of charge, organisers are urging visitors to make sure they have their entrance ticket well in advance by registering on-line.
