Another successful Torbay Business Forum event with 100 people hearing all about the Tourism market from Carolyn Custerson, CEO English Riviera BID Co. Great campaigns for The English Riviera including the new TV adverts - which will be screened in the Midlands and on ITVX - really showing the Bay in all its glory.

Thanks also to our Community Slot speaker, Linda Baker President of the Rotary Club of Torbay Sunrise who highlighted all the fundraising initiatives they do across the Bay.

Perfect breakfast as always at the Riviera International Centre (thanks Laura and the team), and huge thank you to Gold sponsors, Bigwave Marketing and Silver, Mercure Hotels Paignton without whom we couldn’t operate. And of course our expert host, TBF Chair, Stephen Reynolds & the TBF team who work tirelessly behind the scenes.
