The link is not working for me.

I can (and will) personally recommend the products of both these suppliers, especially when consumed at the same time.

Looking forward to another pig-out session...

I fully support that! but let's not forget about the pies from the PieShop, they go very well with the Spiffing Ales

Got to say that was a very enjoyable event - met some great people and swapped some cool ideas. Thanks everyone for the kind comments and interest in what we were doing on our little stand.

Probably see you all next year .

Yeah, it was nice to see so many familiar faces. Especially yours, Bob, with the beer tasting and all

I found it curious there weren't more established companies there (maybe I don't understand the point of the Expo) but it seems there's a great opportunity to do some direct marketing to core demographics. If you have a business, I reckon you should sign up for the next one.

Re: Expat-Expo Zurich

I have to say as an exhibitor, it was a very well run expo and we were kept busy from the first minute to the last. I didn't expect to sell a lot of cheese on the day, but we sold out of nearly all of our cheeses and got some great enquiries for catering and events.

Hope to see some new faces at the Geneva expo on October 12th.
