We come here every year; it's a regular event for us. We're a chemical distributor business, it’s a real opportunity to meet our customers and this is very much the showcase of the year, and we've had a lot of footfall this year which is great and there’s been a lot of connections made.

We're having a great time. We've had good quality visitors, which is what we’re looking for. The Easy Fairs app has been excellent, and we've found it to be exceptionally useful and allowing us to make notes and recall them next week is fantastic.

It’s always a good show for us. Meeting customers face-to face is really important, we've always been a company where we try and engage with our customers, it creates ownership over problems that the customer has.

This is our 5th year at the show and were here because we’ve got a lot of customers here and the industries that we supply to for our packaging. It’s a great source of meeting a lot of new customers and new faces and also introducing new faces.

The experience has been really good; it’s been really busy. We’re getting a lot of new contacts in, and a lot of our old customers are coming to speak to us. So, it’s been a really really productive day. I think the main opportunity we get is meeting new customers, new suppliers and seeing our colleagues. It’s the first year that we've seen the app and smart badge technology, I think it’s going to be really good. It will automate it a little bit better for us.

So, this is our first visit to CHEMUK, we know it’s really important so that’s why we came. Of course, it’s our first year as ACRE, but I think it’s as big as ever and we’re really enjoying it. Well, it’s essential really, it means we get to meet some of our existing clients face-to-face say hi, they know were here. It gives us lots of opportunities to showcase our own expertise with people who don’t know us.
