Event was well organised and had a buzz

Sarah Murphy, Allegro Sales & Marketing

Great event & we probably booked to large a stand for us but really worthwhile.

John O'Callaghan, AirOPol Systems

I was very happy with the show overall. It seemed to be well managed, had a good cross-section of visitors and a good mix of exhibitors. Thanks to Francis and his very helpful staff.#

Jim Cuttriss, JC Products

I was so happy with the professionalism of the Hospitality Expo staff, Francis thank you for your persistence as at one stage I wasn’t going to commit, then I thought of how successful the previous Expo was. I knew I had a few new Suppliers that customers wouldn’t have seen their products before , I believe this was the key to catching people’s attention. Going through the leads, we have secured at least 10 new customers ,potentially I think we will have another 10. Great Success , I’m a happy Exhibitor x Sign me up for 2026 😁❤

Pj Murray, Ille Service IRL

Thanks for all the help and support in fairness it was well done and organised and staff very pleasant and accommodating.

Arun Oakes, Karcher Ireland Ltd
