It doesn’t matter if they’re in distribution or exhibition or even the services companies we all know each other even in competition and this is great opportunity to get together in a social environment and enjoy each other’s company."

"It’s nice to see all the Irish entrants. I think it’s the only event that brings those into the UK and I think it benefits us all. They have a higher attendance per head of population in Ireland and I think we can learn from them."
