Of course, securing new accounts, generating sales leads and showcasing our fantastic new products is right up there on the leaderboard, but so too is the brilliant opportunity that the show gives us to catch up with existing customers and industry colleagues.”

“Glee’s got a really good range of buyers, really good quality connections that we’re building. People that can make the decisions for their businesses and really understand the product category.
