Exhibitor Testimonials
"The show was great for us again this year bringing in a
variety of customers, from self builders, to architects,
contractors and potential business partners. There were real jobs
brought in by customers, so we were able to talk them through the
details of their projects face to face rather than over the phone
which we find improves the relationship we have with the
client."
Ryan Wardle , Marketing, Colorcoat Urban®
"Scandia-Hus were kept very busy at the Grand Designs Live
Event. Our stand was buzzing and we were so delighted with the
event that we have already booked for next year!"
Tina Smith, Scandia Hus
"We find we get enough business at Grand Designs Live to
make it worth our while. This being our fifth year, it's good for
the customer, good footfall, and the right type of people coming
here."
