We have had a fantastic four days at Harrogate, we have been super busy, we have established connections stockists that we have been trying to speak to for ages and ages and we have finally got our foot in the door. We have re-connected face to face with existing customers that we don't always get a chance to go round and see and its been super fun, you couldn't do it anywhere else!

It’s not just networking, it goes into more depth than that here. It’s a lot more open and friendly than all the other shows that I have been to and as I say, the ease of organisation with getting in and getting things done is amazing – any problems are sorted really easily by the show team… any time we’ve needed anything they have been here, which is just perfect!
