PHEX shows - do you attend?

[Mark Haywood]

Hello All
I am considering attending the PHEX shows as a manufacturer, before investing time and money in this I wonder if you can give me your thoughts on the following, if you visit;
Do you find it of interest
Main reason for attending
How far you travel (I know that they are not as wide spread as could be!)

Appreciate any feedback, thanks

Went a couple of years ago to the one at Newcastle, about a hour to get to. Was pretty good as was the first one I'd been too. Good for stocking up on pads pens etc.

Will go again next time it's on up here, technically it was a good trip.

I have never bothered, but now I'm interested, that's some worthwhile stuff you picked up.
probably one more pen would have been better!

Off to PHEX tomorrow, but shan't be collecting freebies, as I have to go on to a meeting that evening, and don't want to struggle across London laden down with stuff.
