"This was our second time at Publishing Expo and we were very satisfied with the level and quality of the enquiries we received during the event - so pleased that we have already booked again for 2011!.”
Colin Baldwin, Managing Director, Postal Logistics Ltd
"We did not get time to meet up during the show as the stand was always so busy, but i have finally grabbed time to let you know how pleased we were (as always) with the whole event. We found the quality of people visiting the stand to be very high with serious interest. A good indication for us on the success of a show is actual business generated (and we track everything), this year we had the unexpected but welcomed pleasure of actually doing business on the first day. Subsequently we have also secured new clients as a direct result of stand visitis and indeed in particular the after show email distribution of the show guide. Please pass on our thanks and appreciation to all the team - we are all looking forward to Publishing Expo 2011!" Les Csonge, Sales & Marketing Director, Yudu
