Warren Preece, Soft Drinks Category Executive – Britvic
We have been absolutely delighted our first time CTN World show. In particular we have attracted a lot of interests in our new chiller cabinet and Mountain Dew Energy range. We look forward to building our presence at the show for 2012 and beyond.
Mark Holland, Field Sales Manager – Kraft Foods UK
This has to be one of the most impressive shows yet, with many more big exhibitor names and brands around the show floor. As well as speaking with existing customers, we have seen a number of new store owners many of whom have only been open a few weeks.
Susannah Cox, Territory Development Manager – Mars Chocolate UK Ltd
We have been very pleased with the show, the stand has been very busy with lots of interest in our new large block stacker and our seasonal Galaxy gift products in particular.
Martin Sugden, Convenience and Impulse Controller – Thorntons
Usually we only talk to wholesalers so for us this has been a unique chance to speak direct to our customers’ customers – the independents. They have provided us with some really helpful comments.
Rodger Oatley, Key Account Manager – Scandinavian Tobacco Group UK Ltd
Yesterday alone we spoke to over 80 retailers, at least 20 of whom were good solid leads, professional retailers keen to acquire expert knowledge and advice.

Once again we have had visitors not just from the local area but from all over the country - from as far afield as Dorest and Scotland, we’ve even seen someone from Ireland.

CTN World has been a wonderful for us to get into a totally new market. We have seen reawakening of interest these past two days in a number of our core brands, Airfix for example, long forgotten for many retailers since their own childhood days.
Rohit Manani, National Account Manager – Cuisine de France
We are up 40% on leads and have seen lots more people compared to last year. The new Coffee Plus launch has generated incredible interest and kept us busy all day. This has been our most successful show by far!
Sally Rowberry, National Sales Manager - Daily Mail & Mail On Sunday
Our bright red double-decker bus has proved a great success, drawing in the visitors keen to find out about our latest HND promotion. I would like to say well done to the NFRN for putting on such a well organised event.

We’ve had a steady stream of quality leads all day long. Even after eight years exhibiting at CTN World it still provides a good source of new business.

Once again it has been a good show for us. We’ve seen lots of new people with our NFRN telecom scheme attracting considerable interest.

It’s been another great year for Booker. We’ve definitely seen more people than last year with Premier, Shop Locally and Shop Local To Go all attracting a lot of interest.
Ian Hughes, Affinity Development Manager – Bluefin
After an incredible show last year I really didn’t think it would be possible to do better but we have absolutely smashed it. 69 leads on Sunday and 41 so far today compared to 61 in all of 2010.

I haven’t been for a few years but was delighted when I heard there was a coach from Blackpool and I couldn’t wait to come along. I found the Mars and Daily Mail stands particularly interesting and as I’m planning to update my EPoS system.
Debbie Turner, Your Ideal Shop, Gorleston on Sea
It’s the first time I’ve been to CTN World and didn’t know what to expect so I came with a completely open mind. I was really interested in the E-lites electronic cigarettes and will certainly be stocking them in my shop.
Mohamed Abdul Hasan, Best Serv, Nottingham
CTN World is great for corner shop retailers. I came here looking for more information on how to develop my business and was really pleased to find so much help and advice under one roof.I’ll definitely be back next year.

I came on the London coach with 23 other members. There are some excellent deals here today – better than previous years – and that’s just what we need to get our tills jangling.
