Don't just take our word for it! Hear from our previous visitors and exhibitors:
-
We came a couple years ago with a smaller stand, and it went pretty well. We thought we'd upgrade, get a bigger stand, and I'd come back again!
-
Today has been really positive. We’ve met lots of different market sectors. The quality of the leads has been brilliant. One word, based on today, outstanding.
-
The morning's been really busy. Plenty of traffic past the booth. Thumbs up from me. Excellent. There's quite a wide range of visitors, from various industries, which for us as a Subcon manufacturer is absolutely perfect. Outstanding.
-
Genius! A perfect opportunity for everyone to come together. Great place to chat with existing and new contacts - looking forward to next year, and the other shows!
-
Good range of companies and informative talks, highly recommended!
-
Subcon is a must-see show for me. Not only opportunities to catch the latest innovations within my areas of interest but also what other sectors are looking at. Fascinating to see so many companies coming together to showcase.
-
Subcon is a really useful point of contact for us to meet manufacturers for SME businesses like ourselves. I would point all similar automotive manufacturers like ourselves to the next show.
-
The show was really good, having international exhibitors is vital as it would take a lot more to visit suppliers otherwise.
-
Visiting Subcon this year was my first visit with other colleagues from the company. I found it interesting and insightful to speak to like-minded companies in similar industries to mine.
-
We had a great time at Subcon and met many valuable potential suppliers!
-
I'd recommend Subcon because it gets people who are looking for subcontract manufacturing services at the exhibition. We've had millions of pounds worth of business, over the nine years we have been exhibiting at Subcon.
-
You never know what you'll find, and the opportunity to make a new connection is higher than in almost any other day on the job.
