Andy Taylor, director of Leisure Leagues observed: “There has been a high standard of visitors from all over the UK and overseas.”
Steve Emmerson, from TruGreen, also spoke highly of the visitors: “We’ve met quite a few visitors who were well- prepared and researched ready to meet us and talk seriously.”

The importance of visiting the exhibition, rather than relying on telephone conversations and written information was appreciated by Onkar Nardra, already a franchisee in Birmingham, who said “I’m looking for additional franchise opportunities as investments. It’s good to talk face-to-face – you get a clearer impression.”
