2006 saw a large number of positive responses from exhibitors, here is a selection of some of the comments received;

 Tracy Richards, UK Leisurewear – ‘We had another great show and the Sunday opening really works. It’s nice to see all the smaller businesses that cannot always attend during the week. A great opportunity for customers to see all the garments rather than an image in the brochure.’

 David Sanders-Smith, Result - ‘I found Printwear 2006 to be a great success because it gave Result the opportunity to update many customers with the new product innovations that we could never do through just advertising. Whilst all our UK distributors stock all of the Result range, it was amazing how many customers did not realise this - which again allowed us to support our distributors by passing on this information. We were also given several good ideas from customers for new products that they needed’

Mark Stanzyck, bella - ‘It’s been amazing, we’re really impressed with the turnout.’

Mark Smith, Adelco – ‘A hectic morning, it’s been really busy.’

Nicci Persey, Solutions Apparel – ‘A really good first day, I haven’t stopped talking for three hours!’

Simon Alfandray, Team Wear - ‘A very good day with a large amount of new business and customers telling us how good the garments are, and a lot of feedback on new styles for 2007.’

Kate Tanzi, Victory Design – ‘It’s been a really good day, we’re only just slowing

Adrian Apletree, J&A International – ‘A very good blend of small business and new customers in a very busy day, and a potential new distributor.’

Mark Robinson, Xpres – ‘We’ve been taking orders all day, we’re really pleased.’

Phil Hurley, Lea Sportswear – ‘It’s been really great for our customers to see our products and our new website.’

Jim Nicol, TheMagicTouch – ‘It was busy, busy, busy right up to the end and the time just disappeared!’

Anna Hagfeldt, Humbugz – ‘It’s been a really good, a busy show for us.’

Mark Wilkinson, Mandate – ‘It’s been a good show, we’re about 30% up on orders in comparison to last year which is mainly down to new styles. We hope to open 100-200 new accounts.’

John Baines, Kwik Tapes – ‘We’ve been so busy over the past few days, we haven’t had chance to sit down! The clients who come to P&P are so positive about the future of the industry.’

Malcolm Whiting, Hanes – ‘It’s been very good, even better than last year.’

Anders Carlsen, RSK Tech – ‘We had a great time exhibiting at the P&P 2006 and enjoyed the experience very much. We got some good contacts with many of the other exhibitors and a lot of positive feedback on our products from the textile printers who visited our stand. As we are offering a new and innovative solution for textile printers it is always interesting to find out how they respond to us.’

Roy Burton, YES – ‘This year we have equaled the number of enquiries on previous good shows.’
