FEEDBACK We’ve seen a lot of customers that we don’t necessarily get to see in the year, they’re relaxed because they’re out of their workplace. We’ve seen a lot of potential new business.
MIKE NOONE, MANAGING DIRECTOR AND HEAD BUYER, R NOONE & SON @PANORAMIC34 We had a fantastic day yesterday at The Northern Restaurant and Bar Exhibition in Manchester. A great opportunity to meet with some leading operators and suppliers. #NRB18
@HGSTEPHENSONS
So many new customers and existing customers come in to see us and the footfall has just been fantastic. If I was to try and build a database of this size it would take me all year.
