A BUS seeking the country’s best business ideas is coming to Winchester.

The 2017 ‘VOOM’ is a competition run by Virgin Media Business to find new ideas and the VOOM Tour will be coming to Hampshire on October 19.

The first VOOM Tour will take this national competition out of London to track down the brightest ideas across the UK and Ireland.

VOOM is the country’s biggest pitching competition to encourage the UK’s next generation of businessmen and women.

Sir Richard Branson, of Virgin, said: “The VOOM Bus is going on tour to seek out brilliant British entrepreneurs and to help them break down the business barriers in their way.

“The VOOM Tour is a fantastic way for people to get started on what could be the most significant journey of their business life.”

There are regional prizes of £5,000 up for grabs and ten places to be won to meet and receive advice from Sir Richard.
