It’s been fantastic! I’ve been doing this show for 21 years and this is the best Southern manufacturing show in all that time.
I’ve tried to quantify leads and they are better this year. And not just the quality but the quantity seem very good.
Paul SidwellGeneral Manager, SIC Marking
It has been very good – more visitors than we expected.
We have been to other shows around Europe in previous months and this is the biggest. This year, we have had a lot of visitors from the first day.
Agnieszka RadeckaRegional Sales Manager, TME
We have had a bucketload of enquiries, some new customers and new leads.
Three days is just the right length of time to meet people.
