The Enterprise Europe Network supported companies at ESE, brokering meetings with other potential suppliers, business partners or customers in a face-to-face networking setting providing the opportunity to explore viable business opportunities.
Meeting were scheduled for participants with companies from across Belgium, Canada, Chile, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, Spain, Sweden and the UK.
After one such brokered meeting, a Yorkshire (UK) company in attendance, W. Simpson Ltd the UK's largest family fresh and frozen fish processors based in Hull, has since secured a deal with a French organisation that have just placed their first commercial order.
David Orr, of W. Simpson's Ltd commented:
"By working in partnership with Enterprise Europe Network, we (W. Simpson Ltd) met TOMINE who are a new French customer and we have recently begun to supply them with fresh fish that could be worth up to £150k per annum. With the help of the Enterprise Europe Network I'm sure we'll supply further new customers and markets in the near future."
