British suppliers and overseas buyers of petcare products who took part in the recent ‘International Meet the Buyers’ event organised by PetQuip associations have applauded the business-creating quality of the meetings.

One of the attendees at the ‘Meet the Buyers’ meeting was John James of James & Steel, who presented the company’s extensive range of pet accessories to Cristi Pop from the Romanian wholesaler/pet retail chain, Animax. 

Following the meeting John said: "Once again I found the PetQuip ‘Meet the Buyer’ format to be very professional, yet informal, which is an ideal blend for this type of event. 

"James & Steel has attended a number of these events with PetQuip and we have always found them to be a very useful tool for our export market. They are very informative and have repaid the time, effort and expense many times over."

The next two PetQuip ‘Meet the Buyers’ events are scheduled for March 25 and June 17.
