What we’ve got from this week is pretty phenomenal. We’ve been overwhelmed with new contacts – all our business cards have gone! There’s been a constant flow of good quality leads with at least 75% brand new prospects with many wanting to buy. Lots of live projects. Anyone who hasn’t come has really missed out!

We’re all looking a bit tired, but we’ve had a fantastic time, loads of clients coming through, loads of new customers and we’ve had a really successful day today and yesterday. So, thumbs up it’s going really well here.
