‘The 2011 excursions show was our first year as an exhibitor, I can truly say this was one of the best organised and operated events we have attended in our years of trading. The quality of the contacts was A1 and our follow up has resulted in business we otherwise would not have acquired. We will definitely be reserving our stand at the 2012 excursions show’.
Steve Plummer, Cruise for Groups
‘It was extremely busy; we had lots of interest, and positive enquiries at our stand. I was also especially pleased with the number of people specifically asking about the railway, and planning to visit us this summer’.
Jim Loe - Isle of Wight Steam Railway
A fantastic event very well organised and attended. We were so pleased with our day and we came away with some excellent new contacts.
Ulrika Ericson - Blenheim Palace
‘We felt the exhibition was a great success and proved to be very useful to our company. We managed to speak to hundreds of potential customers, some that were aware of Brook Hotels and some that were not. We definitely feel that this is a very worthwhile exhibition to attend and look forward to what 2012 can offer’.
Emma Handley - Brook Hotels
’2011 was our first exhibition at Excursions and we found it extremely useful at networking with new clients’.
Joe Michael - Southgate & Finchley Coaches Ltd.
‘Visitor numbers were really good at Excursions 2011, it was a nice steady stream all day which meant we could all talk to the visitors. Also as usual it was really well organised with all the necessary facilities. Thank you to all for helping making it a great show’.
Anna Tomkins, Visit Surrey
‘Excursions has proved to be such a success this year. Once again we took bookings on the stand and have been positively inundated the week following as a result of contacts that were made on Saturday. This was my 16th year at Excursions and it was one of the busiest I can remember’.
Don Yates, French Brothers
‘This was an excellent well-organised Show. Attendance seemed to be even greater than in 2010. Certainly an event well worth attending’.
Sandra Refault, Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway
