A very productive and beneficial way of meeting a range of suppliers in a structured and well organised format. As I am inundated with emails and requests for meetings on a daily basis, a direct approach from these suppliers via another route would probably have resulted in a polite ‘no thanks’. However, having met them at the event, I understand the potential value these suppliers can bring my business and will be following up with further meetings.

Our Event formula is simple, the Platform is designed to bring together time restricted Facilities Management Buyers and Suppliers to define and fulfill new project and day-to-day estate management supply chain needs.
Based on relevant business profiling; one-to-one meetings between Buyers and Suppliers are pre-selected, pre-booked and confirmed back prior to the event, so everyone arrives at the event Platform fully informed and ready to do business.
We have learned that the Platform method of bringing together people who buy and people who sell, is proven to quickly develop effective business relationships.
We’ll organise your selections into your 2-day business networking schedule, saving you time whilst providing structure and focus.
The Event Platform works because it is so focused and everybody is under one roof. You have specific meetings with companies you choose to achieve your current and future business goals. Our event formula enables you to conduct your business quickly and efficiently, rather than months to schedule in so many relevant meetings amongst normal working commitments.
Because our events are so focused, once booked, all you have to do is turn up and
concentrate on developing the right relationships and opportunities for your business.

FIRSTLY: Active Buyers, responsible for the Facilities & Estates Management requirements that have projects and supply chain needs to discuss with Suppliers can book their places.
THEN: We find out about their specific Supplier requirements and upcoming projects by completing our Product Category Selector and Projects Capture
NEXT: We then invite relevant Suppliers to attend to ensure the Buyers have their needs met. Suppliers also complete the Product Category Selector as part of our expert-matching-up process.
Granting access to all profiles we invite attendees to make their preferred meeting selections. Based on the pre-defined Product Category Selections we help to identify and recommend those which match your own profile to ensure all meetings are relevant and worthwhile. In a matter of minutes you can work out exactly who you want to meet with.
At the event Buyers & Suppliers have their pre-selected face-to-face meetings and lots of networking opportunities too.
Our specific industry event formula means that you can be sure that everyone at the Platform is a relevant and worthwhile contact.
