This is our fourth time at the show, and it’s by far our favourite trade show of the year. We have so many lovely regular customers that come and say hello, and we’ve met some phenomenal new customers. Hale are really fantastic organisers; they really think about the exhibitors, they really consider the audience, and so every conversation that you have is a really compelling one. Couldn’t recommend it enough!”
