Wednesday 14 May, 2008Security 'speed-dating' with BSIA's Meet the BuyersThe British Security Industry Association once more held its highly successful Meet the Buyers event at IFSEC 2008, welcoming 75 overseas buyers from 11 different countries.
The event takes the form of short, one-to-one, 'speed-dating' style business meetings between UK suppliers and overseas buyers. This year more than 450 meetings took place with buyers from countries as diverse as Belgium, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Egypt, India, Morocco, Poland, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Sweden and Turkey.
BSIA Export Council Chairman, Mike Parry, comments: "Meet the Buyers is a unique opportunity for the British security industry to showcase its talents to a number of key overseas buyers. The event aims to ensure that overseas buyers and UK suppliers have a productive IFSEC by allowing them to have short meetings at the beginning of the show which can then be followed up with more in-depth briefings later in the week if required."
"Last year's event was a great success and has resulted in BSIA members and IFSEC exhibitors not only gaining networking opportunities, but also securing real business from the visiting buyers. I am pleased to say that this year's event has proved to be just as popular and I'm sure it will herald equally as beneficial results."
Meet the Buyers was held on Monday 12th May at IFSEC and also played host to visits from a number of overseas Commercial Officers. The BSIA would like to thank UK Trade & Investment, CMP Information and the International Trade Promotion Centre for their support in organising this event.
