“Meet the Buyers” are tailored towards your own company’s buying requirements and require minimal effort on your behalf. You will meet and assess a wide range of relevant suppliers in a single day, so you can quickly find innovative new solutions and improved cost efficiencies.
Your attendance can even allow you to perform simple benchmarking exercises against your existing suppliers which could prove very useful in re-assuring both yourself and your managers that your company is operating at the peak of its efficiency.
“Meet the Buyers events are enjoyable, well organised and a very productive use of one day. Where else can you meet up to 30 relevant suppliers with no research or effort? I have met new suppliers who have cut my costs and solved problems for me. A very good way of catching up with innovation from suppliers with whom I would not usually meet.”

Guaranteed savings in your time At “Meet the Buyers” you will access relevant suppliers who you may not even have heard of before – with no research time or wasted meetings. Business to Business have a proven and sophisticated system for analysing and checking the suitability of suppliers and matching their expertise and product range very specifically to your needs.
On the day, we will build you a ‘buying booth’ and this is where you will be located. Suppliers will meet you via an ‘appointment only ‘ system. To see what your buying booth will look like click here
