After three very busy days at the event we can say that over all the exhibition was a success for many of the exhibitors. Finishing our walkabout at the show we found ourselves on Vending Corporation’s stand speaking with Nick Bingham who quoted some very interesting sales figures and the fact that their first sale was made within 8 minutes of the show opening and they were closing on their last sale whilst we were there - 10 minutes before the end of the Show!

Whilst awaiting confirmation of visitor figures l do feel that a lot of our readers did not take the time to visit. It’s disappointing as these trade shows are put on to give you time to browse and offer a touchy-feely opportunity which the internet cannot offer.

This event is not just about selling to you. It gives the industry quality time to get together and talk about the industry and the market; it shows new innovations and business opportunities; and the show days also offered a series of seminars to help you with your business. So for those of you who did not get chance to go, check out our review pages and our Stars of the Show section and, for further reading this month, we are covering M2M and Cash Handling, plus Alternative Vending: what are you doing about this when legislation changes come into effect later this year?
