SWPP & BPPA members benefit from seminar programme

Just wanted to say a big 'thank-you' for such a great seminar.

I saw Mark Laurie at Leeches in Huddersfield on Thursday.

Marvellous day with invaluable marketing advice in the morning and posing guidance during the afternoon.

All extremely relevant - by far and away the best SWPP seminar I have ever been to.
