Bryan Godwyn, IFS Managing Director, comments: “We are really delighted. IPEX has done a great job and we have worked hard to put on a great show for the visitors. I am genuinely pleased with it.

“It was great that owners of businesses such as ourselves, Apex, Freidheim and Watkiss put their money where their hearts were. We all believed in IPEX and the power of the print industry. We supported this show and made it successful through hard work and sensible product promotion.”

He continues: “We were pleased with customer loyalty in supporting this event and the quality of visitors who came. We are also excited about the amount of business we have been able to sign.  We look forward to announcing more on those sales successes in due course. We have also made some great contacts.”
