London would be ok if it wasn't so expensive, what about Newcastle or somewhere else for a change of scenery. :)

So, not enough people going?

Or, not enough suppliers attending to attract enough people?

Why would I want to go and visit a show where the biggest stand was sold to a competitor of mine, and yours? JV Price. Yes they supply, but I have no intention of using them as a supplier, as they are a competitior on the window cleaning front.

The list of exhibitors simply was not attractive enough to fill the place with excited prospects, running round with open wallets.

Venue is pretty irrelevant really as "build it and they will come" springs to mind with this...if Gardiners, Purefreedom, and other "preferred" suppliers were there, I'm sure it would have been better attended.

In Short No - although some of our distributors were. I was going to use the show as a chance to catch up with some of the cleaners who use the systems and controls and get some feedback.

This isn't a dig at you, but because you are kind enough to come on here and impart valuable knowledge to us, I can ask you...

I know it's different for you as we are not your customers directly, the various suppliers of equipment are, however, they may be interested to see what you have coming out, or give you some ideas, likewise we, the end user could give feedback to you.

Maybe your mindset is shared by other suppliers who just simply don't see it as a return on investment.

Maybe it's more of a goodwill thing, and for me, the chance to see and play with some toys, well, I'd be spending money, as I'm sure lots of others would.

Truth is, suppliers can't be bothered, neither can I.

Will they lose out? Probably not, as I still need to buy gear from somewhere!

Our Website gives a flavour of what we have coming along in the very near future. I am sure distributors will have most of these on show for you to look at and play with.


As for feed back as a company we need to listen to what people are saying even if we do not supply direct to the end user.

The down side is that it can take time to action some of the common comments and thoughts and it can make it seem we are not taking notice. Or in some cases it may not be possible. I feel being on the forum is invaluable and important a view my Boss shares.

There are some very good suppliers out there and on the whole they listen and feedback to us too so it all a good thing.

I see no harm in giving advice where I can even if people will not always agree and if it is our equipment or not

I respect different points of view to mine and hope that comes across
