Mate, to be fair, all the motorhome related companies are at the NEC this week.

And if you have ever done a trade show it's exhausting, you are on your feet taking to people for 16 hours a day (no joke!)
The normal rule for the office during tradeshows is "I'm uncontactable", as you simply do not have the bandwidth available to deal with external issues.

I used to do 3-4 trade shows a year, it's typically about a 100 hour working week.
I'd find that by Thursday I'd lost my voice, and I'd usually take the Monday off just to recover.

A few people on trade stands gave us their card and said send us an email and we’ll get back to you the middle of next week. Fair enough. In fact one has got back to us already 👍

In a previous life I was a service engineer for the German arm of an American printing company and used to attend 2 or 3 international Exhibitions and trade shows a year myself so I know what it’s like.

My life too, a veteran of numerous Ipex and Drupa's never seemed to get to bed the same day you get up!
