Buy London Reverse Trade show a HIT!

Our first ever Buy London Reverse Trade Show was a big success for London manufacturers. Over 20 large manufacturers had a chance to make contacts with more than 500 companies attending the half day trade show on September 22 at the London Convention Centre.

Many exhibiting companies confirmed making significant contacts and looked forward to potentially establishing new local suppliers. Many more companies attending the show were pleased to have an opportunity to chat with the buyer from a large and sometimes difficult to access local manufacturer.

Two new manufacturers to London, Brose North America and Starlim North America had a constant line up of companies interested in learning about their supply needs.

The show was opened following greetings from Mayor Anne Marie DeCicco, LEDC President and CEO, John Kime and London Region Manufacturing Council Chair, Dave Gardner. All three speakers highlighted the growing strength and significance of the manufacturing sector in London.

Thanks to our sponsors, exhibiting companies, exhibiting non-profit organizations and all who attended. A special thanks to entire LRMC Buy London committee for organizing a very successful event for manufacturers.
