With the team primed and ready to go, stood to attention on the display stand at 8.30am, the conference was officially open. What proceeded was a well attended event with flurries of activity during the intervals between each guest speaker. During these break periods, the Delegates would make their way around the exhibiting hall, perusing the stands, often on their way to get refreshments or to use the facilities. The lunch break was a particularly busy time with the event caterers putting on an excellent spread. The cheese and pickle sausage roll was unanimously agreed to be a highlight.

This year we were able to chat with a fair few familiar faces, as well as some unfamiliar ones enquiring about our services. We hope that some of this will lead to potential business opportunities in the not so distant future.

And just like that, the day was done. With almost military-like precision, our stand was packed up, loaded into the transit van and we were ready to make our separate ways home. Jo and Jack (once again in the transit van), had a playlist of 80’s hits to soundtrack the return journey home. The verdict on this one was not quite as positive as it turns out that a lot of music from that era was questionable at best.
