It s been interesting to speak to other exhibitors as well as visitors to our stand which have been the right people mostly in procurement. We ve built and reconnected with contacts and had a positive experience. We re keen to make the most of our time here and would look to exhibit again. James Bruzon, Area Manager, Toyota Gibraltar It has been a very good show. We ve been meeting the right type of people and it s a good start for a new show like Aid & Trade.

testimonials trade I have travelled from Jordan today to hear the prestigious speakers talk about how to implement change in the current global refugee crises we are facing. The seminars have been very interesting and there are some key insights for us to take away and apply in our efforts in Jordan. Ayman R. Al-Mufleh, Secretary General, Jordan Hashemite Charity Organisation The speakers have all been extremely interesting and it has been a great privilege to hear from leading global experts that are heading up the charge for aid in humanitarian crises.
