April Networking with PrintYorkshire and the BPIF sees us return to a subject that we have not tackled for a few years but is vital to any organisation - sales and marketing. This is a real "How to do it" Masterclass.

Edward Ryder is the Managing Director of Biskit, a marketing and design agency created in November 2003. Edward has spent his career in marketing and design, formerly becoming one of the UK's youngest Sales Directors in his industry, being jointly responsible for £42 million worth of sales at Pindar, whilst also studying for an MBA and MA. Edward now works with companies throughout the UK, using marketing and design to help them achieve their full potential.

Agenda
1    Gamekeeper turned Poacher
2    What are you marketing?
3    Marketing and you?
4    Translating these ideas into sales
