BIRMINGHAM NEC 22 - 25 FEB 2009 10am - 6pm Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. 10am - 5pm Wednesday
 
  I’ve never been to a show with so much buzz and positivity. We sold 30 minilabs from right across our range, including the new “dinky” D701 which is aimed at, for example, schools and events photographers, a completely new market for us.
   
Alison Hughes, Noritsu
 
 
 
  This was the most productive show for us for years. There was a very positive vibe with people prepared to invest so the stand paid for itself on the first day.
   
Paul Austin, Fujifilm
 

 

 
  A really successful show. The best Focus ever.
   
Katie Teesdale
Fujifilm Consumer
 
 
 
  A very buzzing show with lots of interest and plenty of enthusiastic comment. This was our third Focus and we were able to reinforce our message to people we had met before as well as winning new business.
   
Paul Noble
Noble Fine Art
 
 
 
  Very successful exposure for our new camera with plenty of enquiries to follow up. We were amazed at the level of interest which came from right across the board.
   
Paul Taylor, Spheron
 
 
 
  We sold out early last year so we brought 50% more stock this year – we sold out again half way through the show.

  Sunday was totally manic, Monday was manic, Tuesday was manic, Wednesday was just plain busy.
   
James Banfield

  Exciting to see the UK market investing for growth. We had plenty of orders, with serious enquiries to follow up.
   
Stephen Giordano, CEO Lucidiom
 
 
 
  An amazing show. We were absolutely thrilled at the attendance. Our company president from the US visited on the Tuesday and said that he wished that they had shows as good as this in the US.
   
Neil Gomez, Hot Press
