“IFEX 2012 was a great success for the Federation of Small Businesses and all those we spoke to around us! We were delighted with the excellent feedback from the show, as it enabled us to raise the profile of the FSB and provide an avenue to meet and converse with both existing and potential new members in the food, drink, retail and hospitality sectors. Such events are instrumental in encouraging business and nurturing small businesses, and we look forward to expanding our involvement with the organisers for the 2014 event.”
