Commercial Photography North West: Chamber of Commerce Business Showcase at the Point

At the end of June the Altrincham and Sale Chamber of Commerce held its latest business showcase. These are starting to come along thick and fast every few months now, such is their popularity. On this occasion it was also being held for the first time at the Point at Lancashire County Cricket Club. What a great building! It's a fantastic new conference and event centre, with a stunning view over the Old Trafford pitch to boot. What more could you ask for?

This was also the biggest business showcase the Chamber had put on, with over seventy local businesses exhibiting and plenty more attending during the day.

I was there in two capacities; one, as the owner of Martin Hambleton Photography I had a stand promoting the range of commercial photography I offer. I was also letting people know about my new, exclusively commercial website, www.commercialphotographynorthwest.co.uk. And two, as the official Chamber photographer, I was covering the event, taking photographs that will end up being used by the Chamber in forthcoming editions of the magazine, Altruism.

As such, it was a rather busy day, to say the least, but I did get the chance to chat briefly to a few familiar, and some new, faces. Among these were the nice guys at Juiced Orange Marketing, who have recently joined the Chamber, the wonderful ladies from Ice Cream Dub (who, as a fellow owner of a VW camper van, I'm a big fan of), Paul from Premium Collections Ltd, who was sponsoring the event, and others.

Here are a few shots of the day.
