Falcon Promotions have bucked the trend with another successful show at Newmarket Rowley Mile Exhibition Centre. Not only was there an increase in the number of visitors, but Falcon have a waiting list of suppliers who wish to exhibit at this much sought after annual event. This was the 12th year of this highly rated show in the Promotional Calendar.

Director and Exhibition Organiser Paul Peachey commented, “The Falcon Exhibition gives our customers a chance to speak with suppliers and see what is new in the Promotional Industry. This is a unique show in East Anglia, without the hassle of travelling to the larger shows in London and Birmingham but still seeing a quality range of goods on offer. We were greatly impressed by the amount of potential new customers visiting for the first time, along with the many regulars who turn up each year”

Managing Director Les Wright commented, ” This year we thought it would be difficult in the current economic climate, when budgets are reduced companies want value for money. This show is the best way of giving clients a choice of where they spend their budget and can see the best way to promote their brand “

Paul Warner, Marketing Manager of Barenbrug UK commented …. ” Once again the Falcon Show was excellent. The opportunity to meet a wide range of suppliers in a fantastic local venue is always much appreciated and shows that Falcon really do care about their customers’ needs “

Kathryn Robinson, Business Administrator of HFL Sports Science commented, ” The Falcon Show was a great chance for us to see the broad range of marketing materials that are available. It was great to speak with the various exhibitors and get new ideas for campaigns. Probably the most important part of the day is being able to pick up and use the items “

From the suppliers who exhibited on the day, the following comments were made…….

Tim Cadel, owner of Business Baubles….. ” The event began with a most enjoyable and entertaining evening with the Falcon Team, fellow suppliers and an excellent magician who had everyone spellbound.  A beautiful morning and First Class facilities at Newmarket Racecourse combined to bring out Falcons customers and a busy day was had by all “

Melissa Chevin, Marketing Manager of Senator ….” With plenty of opportunity to present the latest and most relevant in Promotional Merchandise, Senator look forward to every Falcon show. We are consistently impressed with the location, the quality of visitors at the show and wealth of enquiries received “

Lui Notarnicola, Sales Manager of Booth Brothers …..” This was a great show for us and the quality of enquiries received was first class. Falcon have been organising these shows for a number of years and everything was spot on, congratulations to the Falcon Team.

Ian Gisbourne, Account Manager of Newell Corporate Gifts ….” This was my first experience of the Falcon show and it was excellent. Getting the opportunity to speak with end users about their pen usage was great. Also knowing that the leads generated will be closely followed up by Falcon means that we are in a win-win situation.

On the previous evening at the Bedford Lodge, Falcon held a dinner to thank all suppliers for their continued support. This was as usual a great success, with members of the Falcon staff enjoying mixing with suppliers who they would normally only speak to on the phone. This year the entertainment was supplied by the Comedy Magician Mark Shortland, one word describes his performance – priceless…. Everyone laughed to see Fanela’s Phil Roberts tongue twisted for so long and squirm at the possibility of his jacket being stabbed.

Rod Duncan said many kind words about his time dealing with Falcon over the years, especially with the Likely Lads !! We will certainly miss a character like Rod if he leaves the industry later in the year.

Due to the popularity of this venue and event, we are waiting for the 2012 racing fixtures before we can confirm next year’s date. We can say that next year with Falcon Promotions celebrating 25 years in business, this will be the biggest and best with many surprises for both customers and suppliers.
