Meet-the-buyer day

The White House, High Street, Brasted TN16 1JE

Wednesday 24 November 2010

PetQuip is organising a meet-the-buyer event to bring trade purchasers from The Netherlands and Romania into direct contact with British suppliers of pet care products. This is a great opportunity for you to hold one-to-one meetings with overseas buyers looking for new products from the UK. It’s also a hugely cost-effective way of getting your goods and services in front of an international audience.

We have two trade buyers for you to meet on this occasion: an importer and distributor from The Netherlands and a distributor, wholesaler and retailer from Romania.

To request a meeting with either or both of them, please complete and return the linked application form by Wednesday 10 November. We will contact you soon after with confirmation of the meeting slots that have been allocated to you.

Format of the day

The event begins at 9.00am with meet-the-buyer sessions each lasting about 25 minutes. They will continue through the day, with the last one being at around 4.30pm. Each meeting will give you an opportunity to present your company and products to the buyer on a one-to-one basis and to supply brochures and other information. Attendees can also take the opportunity to visit the federation’s research library, meet with the Gardenex and PetQuip teams and find out about our programme of initiatives for next year.

The venue

The White House

Situated on the A25, approximately a mile and a half to the west of Junction 5 of the M25, The White House is easy to find by car and there is a car park behind the building. If that is full, the nearby White Hart public house has a large free car park which also serves as a car park for Brasted village.

There’s a frequent rail service between London Charing Cross and Sevenoaks, which is about a four mile taxi ride from Brasted. The journey time from Charing Cross to Sevenoaks is approximately 40 minutes.

 

How to apply

The cost per meeting is £65 + VAT for members of PetQuip and £165 + VAT for non-members. Please list in order of preference the buyers you would like to meet.

Please note that while requests for individual meet- the-buyer places will be handled on a first-come, first-served basis, the meetings will also be allocated according to the product preferences of the buyers involved. PetQuip makes every effort to ensure that at least one meeting is allocated per request, but, because of the complexities of this process, no guarantees can be made.
