I have just attended Interior Lifestyle in Tokyo. This is a smart little show that majors on high end design with a strong Global section. We have exhibited here twice before and this time our constant presence at the show has really paid off. I was able to spend a little more on stand fittings with the support of the BEDG and I am sure that this extra attention to detail had a positive effect.At times we were swamped by interested potential customers and I have great hopes that the orders will come in. I do not expect immediate results but I hope that by the end of the year we will have many more faithful customers.
