MAA exhibitor comments

"Many thanks for all your efforts. The organisation, help and service from the MAA team was excellent. We had some really good enquiries both from the MAA stand and possible new customers. We soon had our first posted enquiry and visit to our site.  I would also like to thank you for the work you did with the UKTI commercial officers for Italy, Rossana and Ines, that resulted in both of the people I requested to meet, from Avio and Piaggio, visiting our stand. I will let you know how I get on with them in the coming months"  Ricardo

 

"Thank you for allowing us to have a  pod on your stand at the Paris Air Show. The feedback we have had from the guys who attended has been great. They all said the pod looked great, the stand was well positioned and it attracted a lot of visitors. They also commented on how helpful your staff were and again for that  I would like to thank you. I know that our coming onto the stand was quite late in the day and I would also like to say thank you for getting me up to speed very quickly and providing everything as and when we needed it"  Advanced Composites Group
