"We’ve been three times before, and we enjoy getting to see what’s new and finding unique products to purchase. It helps my team and I to stay sharp as we always discuss what we’ve seen/done after a show and how it can help us achieve our goals. We’ve also arranged numerous meetings with suppliers after the show."
-
"I’ve come to Glee as I’m looking to expand our range of products. We’ve already placed three orders with three new suppliers and we’re keen on placing more if anything catches our attention."
-
"We're here to look for new products for next season, we love being able to see suppliers in person because usually we’re only communicating via email, it helps to strengthen the relationship. The fact Glee is in September is perfect for us as it aligns with our own buying schedule."
-
"We come to Glee every year and have done for many years as we love it here. We use it more as an opportunity to strengthen existing relationships with suppliers rather than looking to buy new products or services."
-
"This is our first time at Glee as it's our first year owning a garden centre. We’ve found it very useful coming here as we’re now up to date with current and upcoming industry trends. We also get to meet suppliers in person, which is so much better than via email or video call and helps to speed up the deal making process. We’ve placed two orders so far and will be back looking to place more tomorrow."
