Fitness First
"A very useful forum for meeting new suppliers.The event itself was held in pleasant and relaxing surroundings, which gave us ample opportunities for further networking within a very convivial atmosphere... I had many meetings with top suppliers who under normal circumstances would be difficult to meet with. The networking opportunities gave me quality time to build long term relationships"

Good news travels fast!
Had meeting with Decor yesterday and am working on 2 projects. Had meeting with St Giles Hotel and have 2 large projects. Also other secured follow up meetings with Mayfair Hotel and Merlin Entertainments. All very positive! I am sure I will turn some business around.
Oriental Weavers
The forums give me the chance to discuss the major projects and requirements that the buyers have and it saves me at least 20,000 miles of travel over months - all in just 3 days. I cannot recommend the forums highly enough as a direct route to meetings and networking with real decision makers. As you know I invest the time in doing several events per year because I meet new buyers and it gives me opportunity to see buyers I already know to develop my existing relationships – overall it is invaluable to my business to work this way.Classic Furniture Group
I am pleased to advise that my initial scepticism has been thoroughly dispelled. I am delighted to advise not only have I secured some exceptionally useful contacts, I have had an abundance of follow up opportunities including an appointment today at 2 New York hotels attended by the USA, East Coast Sales Manager and the Executive Vice President, Corporate Headquarters.
