Collaborative Initiatives

Client:

Made in the Jewellery Quarter

The aim was to attract new buyers and source new markets for their products at an event in which none of them had previously participated.

Initial meetings were focused on deciding collectively what the group wished to achieve, and subsequent meetings concentrated on the logistics of putting into action the practical aspects of a collaborative trade fair stand.

This collaborative project has enabled L J Millington to work with like-minded companies to access new opportunities. Exhibiting collectively is a new initiative for us and I have found the whole experience of being a part of this group rewarding and informative.
