It always takes time to establish a new exhibition, but the quality of the visitors was good. We've booked a bigger stand for next year.” Kamal Bengougan, Chief Commercial Officer, Eversys “We wish to thank you for the organisation, we had the chance to meet some very interesting people and certainly appreciated the whole concept behind it.” Nele Mertens, Marketing Team Perfect Moose “It is the quality of the potential clients that are coming through the door. We have spoken to the likes of Costa and John Lewis and there has been a steady footfall.” Mike Wheelhouse, Director at Urban Culture For more information about the European Coffee Expo contact the team on +44(0) 203 668 9809 Or visit the website at www.europeancoffeeexpo.com “The show was excellent and just what the coffee industry in the UK needs. Being the first show it’s early days, but based on the visitors who came, it was brilliant - quality over quantity; people who were serious buyers, looking for something to enhance their business.” John Laird, Operations Director and General Manager at Franke “A very big thank you to everyone who came to see us last week at the new trade show for the coffee industry, European Coffee Expo. We were delighted to sponsor the VIP lounge, a quiet, relaxed zone where we could demo our latest traditional espresso and bean to cup technology with ease. There was a high volume of 'serious buyers' amongst the visitors and we really appreciate those of you who took time out to drop by and see us over the two days. Another plus was the opportunity to increase coffee knowledge and understanding with a whole range of workshops and speaker panels on offer hosted from both the high street and artisan sectors. All in all, two days well spent.” Daniel Clarke, MD, La Cimbali “We've seen many serious buyers at the show - people wanting to do business, not just here for a free coffee! It's a great size and there are big brand names, both in terms of exhibitors and visitors, from wholesalers and operators to the smaller independents.” Massud Faquiri, co-founder of Sweet Amsterdam FROM TWITTER: Complete Coffee ‘Thank you & congratulations to @Eurocoffee_expo for hosting a fantastic event! And thank you to those who came down and saw us. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves’ Jestic ‘Thank you to those who came to visit us at @Eurocoffee_expo over the past few of days. It was nice to see so many friendly faces and great for the @Vitamix The Quiet One and Aerating Container to be chosen as finalists in the Innovation Path. #EuroCoffeeExpo #Awards’ Cgo Drinks ‘C'go had a great a few days @Eurocoffee_expo earlier this week with lots of 'wows' and some visitors even saying 'that's the best product I've tasted all day'. That always brings a nice smile to our faces’ Turmerlicious ‘Great day @Eurocoffee_expo lots of great feed-back. This lady said “this is the best product here by far! I love it”.
