Over 200 delegates attended the Office Club Conference at The Belfry, West Midlands, last weekend. The UK dealer group said that the event proved to be a great success from both a social and business perspective.
Delegates enjoyed tennis and golf in the glorious sunshine on Saturday before getting down to the real business on Sunday with keynote speeches, seminars and the exhibition featuring 35 suppliers.
New for 2009 Office Club introduced a free exhibition vouchers scheme that encouraged members to not only attend the exhibition but place orders for many of the exclusive deals that were available, early indications suggest that this has resulted in record sales on the day.
