Well there we have it for another year London boat show is done and dusted. After 14 days of setting up and selling we were all very pleased to see the breakdown team arrivew last night and cash up for one final time.
After a slow start to the show thanks to the weather which saw attendance figures down by as much as 27% over the weekend things were not looking too good, however once the roads were clear and the trains back up and running it seemed that there was life out there after all with official figures for Thursday showing a 2% increase in attendance on last year.
So after a very tired journey home and a much needed soak in the bath (its ok i have been showering inbetween times) its back to the office and the several hundred e-mails that are waiting for me. As pleased as I am to be home the boat shows all ways offer an opportunity to get out there and meet the boating public and chat with you guys to see what it is you like and dislike and how you like to spend your time.
I also want to take the opportunity to thank all of the staff on my stand for their hardwork over the last 14 days (it's ok you can sit down and rest your feet as much as you like now)some of them are even still talking to me. Name checks time, Ella, Alex, Laura, Damian and Sam you were all great. Thanks.
Next stop Southampton (hopefully no snow for that one!)
