Sugro managing director, Emma Senior said: “Our May Trade Show is our largest event of the year and goes from strength to strength. With record numbers of attendees and supplier stands to wow us all, it was truly memorable. The event encompasses what a Buying Group should be and enables our members and suppliers to engage with one another, to drive future business. Feedback from everyone was extremely positive and with Fareshare, one of our charity partners, we are able to support the local communities with leftover samples. We move our location further down the country, to Birmingham, in September, for our Networking Event.”
Sugro head of commercial & marketing Yulia Petitt added: “We were exceptionally pleased with a high level of attendance and participation where all attendees had many opportunities to interact, network and continue to drive the business forward. The trade show was a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the achievements of the Group with our Members and Supply Partners, well done to the Winners of the awards.”
