We have some special video content to share with you today following last week's SALTEX exhibition.

 


No, I'm afraid it isn't Friday lunchtime already! We've arrived your inbox today as we have some special video content to share with you following last week's SALTEX exhibition.

 

As discussed on Friday, the feeling that I came away from the NEC with, was one of overwhelming positivity. From what we at Service Dealer could gather from the conversations we held around the halls, visitors and exhibitors alike benefited greatly from meeting up in person once again - leading to some great business being achieved.

 

During both days, our very own Kate Godber and Iain Robinson were patrolling the aisles, filming the great and the good, to gauge their opinions on some topical industry issues. They spoke to a variety of suppliers leading to some diverse and fascinating responses.

 

We're delighted to share these snappy and informative videos with you this morning. Enjoy!
