Inward buyer mission at this year's Seawork
The Seawork Inward Buyer Mission will take place at the Seawork trade show in Southampton on 13th and 14th June 2007.
The Inward Buyer Mission will bring 20 key decision makers from major overseas companies to Seawork to meet with UK suppliers, in order to develop commercial relationships. Buyers and suppliers will be matched by capability and interest.
Each buyer will have a pre-arranged schedule of meetings, based on 30 minute slots. The event builds on the successful Portsmouth meet-the-buyer in 2005 and 2006, where over £500,000 worth of business was won. Supplier comments from Portsmouth:
Buyers will be invited from port authorities, equipment distributors, vessel operators and ship yards. The buyers will be purchasing decision makers. They will come from across Europe, Asia and North America. Each supplier will be charged £25 per meeting with a £200 fully-refundable booking deposit. Meetings will be scheduled based on supplier capabilities and buyer interest.
They are looking for British suppliers from the following light commercial sectors:
Dockyard and ports supply (equipment and services)
Maritime security
Maritime surveillance and vessel management systems
Commercial equipment
Commercial vessels (all sizes and types)
Related services
The one-to-one meetings will take place on 13th & 14th June 2007 on the second
and third days of the Seawork trade show.
