Gurmit, Gentle Breathing
Thank you for an amazing experience, it was great to get real close to customers.I was on the verge of giving up and thinking no one was interested in the work I am doing, but my free booklet went like hotcakes, people were just grabbing information and keen to know more. I made lots of contacts and it was a relief to know that the work I was doing was valued and that there was lots of people were who working along similar area to what I was. The audio did not sell well, because of my free booklets, but I had a company who was possibly interested in selling my audio on his website, which was great, possibility.

We had a really great time manning our stand and talking to all the visitors about our websites, we really think it was worthwhile. We have to say the event was fantastic, seemed to be really well attended and the new hall made moving around the show much easier, so many congratulations on a great job!

Peter Young, Community Foods
Thank you for organising an excellent show. As always, the Allergy & Free From Show is the busiest show that we do, there is always a great atmosphere and good organisational help from yourselves. On all 3 days we were working flat out for the whole day trying to keep up with the number of customers and we broke our own record from the previous year for receipts. We are already looking forward to next year.

Ged Maloney, National Account Controller, Aquados
Aquados attended the Allergy Show at Olympia for the first time in 2011. We were impressed with the show organisation and both the quality and quantity of the attendees. We obtained a number of top quality leads at the show as well as providing samples for many customers whom have reordered from us following the Show. We learnt an awful lot from our attendance at the show and will definitely be supporting the Allergy and Free From Show in 2012 both at Olympia and also in Liverpool.

The Allergy & Free From Show is one of our favourite exhibitions. We find it extremely rewarding to be able to offer skin & hair care products for people who are suffering with allergies. Customers see the benefits of using our award winning range, even after a few hours of walking around the exhibition. We offer advice and always have friendly staff on stand to sample products suitable for customer’s different sensitivities. Our organic sun lotions and make overs are a favourite!

It’s been absolutely phenomenal; really busy, really pleased with the turnout. This is the event of the year, in terms of allergy awareness. A lot of the visitors are saying they have travelled from all over the country to be here. London 2013 should be on the cards.

Amy Glenner, Amy’s Kitchen
Really good, it’s been very busy. A lot of people who are hearing about our products for the first time. Some have seen them, but have been scared to try them. Now they’ve tried them, they’re definitely going to buy them! It’s definitely an investment that has been worth making, because this is really the crowd that we want to talk to. It’s a very busy show and it’s just been an amazing experience. We will definitely be coming to future shows, based on the performance of this show. It’s been wonderful.
