BUSINESS fair organisers Angel Traders have set up a new event in the Dordogne for people to find English-speaking traders.

The next fair, on November 28 at Chateau des Vigiers Golf and Country Club, Monestier, will include firms ranging from swimming pool suppliers to translators, builders and gardeners.

Organisers say the events
are helping firms to defy the recession and get good business leads while expats are able to chat face-to-face with English-speaking experts and receive advice and information on projects.

Run by Amanda Smith and Melanie Chipperfield, Angel Traders has grown from a single event in Brantôme in April to holding events across the Dordogne as well as in neighbouring departments.

Ms Smith said that it had been difficult to persuade traders to get involved initially but said that once they attended an event they were quick to sign up for the next one. They only needed one good lead to cover the costs of their stand.

Angel Traders events are sponsored by The Connexion newspaper and the Dordogne Advertiser.
A representative from both newspapers will be on hand with details of subscriptions and our popular helpguides.
