 We
were on stand 6103 in Hall 6 at BBC Gardeners' World Live at the NEC Birmingham from June 14th to
18th. We were pleased to meet some "old" customers,
made lots of new friends and customers and had our product range on
display.
Enjoy Birds More took a stand at the prestigious "B2B
Midlands" Exhibition, one of the first to be held at the brand
new Ricoh Arena in Coventry. On stand 204 we had our product
range on show, including a specially modified transparent nest box
to display the technology, with an animated model of a blue tit to
show a bit of movement. The show was by all accounts a great
success and we were pleased to meet some of our existing customers
and make some new ones.
