I have gained fantastic knowledge of suppliers who can help in what I need, not what they want to push as the latest sales drive. The networking opportunities are second to none at this event.’’ A delegate from Chipping Norton School described


the forum as: “an excellent opportunity to meet with a variety of suppliers, to learn about new products and services, and have questions answered about school-specific facility issues. As a result of atending the event I was inspired to re-look at some of our existing approaches to site maintenance and development to provide beter support to students.’’ Screwfix Direct said: “The Forum was extremely


beneficial for us to get face time with decision-makers. It has helped us build rapport and gain a stronger understanding of customer’s needs. It was superbly organised and everyone was friendly and helpful.” Delegate atendance is free of charge, including accommodation, seminar atendance, all meals and refreshments plus a place at the evening gala dinner followed by entertainment. iE
