From an exhibitor at last year’s event
“The ILP event in Daventry was our first time exhibiting with the ILP, and I can highly recommend this event. It was excellent, extremely well planned and executed. The ILP staff were helpful, informative and knowledgeable, they were always on hand to give assistance should it be needed, and could not fault their attitude and willingness to assist in all matters. From a business point of view the event was interesting, informative and well worth attending, the clients attending were exactly as promised and were an interesting and knowledgeable group from the lighting industry and as a business we plan to be a regular exhibitor at this event in the future.”
