North Thames supplier event delivered in adverse weather
BALI's North Thames committee held their annual 'meet the supplier' event on Tuesday 11 June 2019, hosted by BALI Registered Affiliate member Europlants UK.
Based in Hatfield, the specialist nursery opened its doors to guests from 7pm with 12 exhibiting companies making the difficult journey to promote their unique land-based products and services, with an afternoon and evening of torrential rain and difficult travelling conditions.
BALI would like to say a special thank you to the host, Europlants UK, who also kindly supplied the hot buffet and drinks during the evening, as well as BALI Registered Contractor member Dagenham Landscapes and the rest of the BALI North Thames committee for all their hard work in organising the event.
With BALI's Membership Officer Kate Grantham, BALI's Chairman Matt O’Conner from BALI Registered Contractor member John O'Conner Grounds Maintenance and BALI North Thames’ Regional Chairman Darren Skidmore of BALI Registered Contractor member Skidmores of Hertford all in attendance, guests were welcomed by representatives of the association and personally introduced to each exhibitor, giving them all a chance to promote and explain their products and services throughout the evening.
Despite the adverse weather and roadworks in the area, all exhibitors attended the event. For those guests that were unable to make the trip, the following Registered Affiliate members were involved;
