Sky's the limit for the Millennium

The eyes of the world will be focused on Greenwich when the Millennium celebrations start, and this should create some excellent marketing opportunities for Kiltox.

Our public relations consultants are working with us in researching possible opportunities for the firm to sponsor or organise an event in the run up to the year 2000.  Something we hope our clients will not only enjoy but benefit from.

We have already obtained details from the Naval Museum about the events which they will be hosting and we would appreciate input about other Greenwich-based activities which may produce business opportunities.

The organisers are looking for a balance of £150 million from the private sector and they are also inviting local firms to tender for providing facilities and services needed at the set up of the construction site.

We have recently joined Bexley and Greenwich Chamber of Commerce and the Greenwich Business Club to widen our contact base.  We are already receiving information from the chamber and have attended seminars organised by the club.  Both are run to provide businesses with information and networking opportunities and they are involved with Millennium developments and projects.

The Dome - the Millennium centrepiece will use 80,000 tons of building materials - may remain in the borough after the celebrations and be used, for example, for sports events or exhibitions.
