Distil closes with solid figures
Firstly, many thanks to all those exhibitors and visitors that made Distil 2009 such a positive and successful show.
For only its second outing Distil's 2009 footfall stands at 6,190 over the three days, that is 19% up on last years visitor numbers.
James Murray, event director, commented: "Despite the best efforts of the UK recession, global economic collapse and the threat of swine flu, we've enjoyed excellent results. Distil, which welcomed 6,190 visitors over the three days, has strengthened its position as the only dedicated International spirits exhibition for the trade."
Distil will be moving to the South Hall for 2010 and will take place adjacent to the 30th London International Wine Fair between 18 - 20 May 2010
"Distil is the only show dedicated to spirits in Europe and probably the world - please can we book the same stand for 2010."
James Hayman, Director, Hayman Distillers Ltd
"Distil 2009 was the perfect way to show the rest of the industry our new product and liaise with similar organisations. It is the ultimate one-stop shop for everything out there in the Spirit Industry. We will definitely be back in 2010"
Dan Audley, Marketing and Promotions Manager, Taste of Ibiza Ltd
