We’re always delighted to see returning faces to the show as well as new visitors every year that we can introduce to our product range. Our participation at the event for the past 10 years really helped increase success of our business in this interesting and versatile sector. WTCE has allowed us to explore more opportunities in the travel industry and broaden our “cutlery” horizons and it has become a must-attend event in the calendar every year for us. To anyone thinking about exhibiting – just go for it, you won’t regret it!”
