Nearly 500 brokers attended the fourth Insurance Age Broker Expo at the Ricoh Arena – home of Coventry City Football Club – making it the best Broker Expo ever.
Brokers from across the country swarmed through the doors in order to network with fellow brokers and to conduct business with the 70 exhibitors and three sponsors that attended this one day event. Brokers were also able to take part in four business useful workshops and enjoy a free lunch and free parking at the event.
In addition this year the Expo introduced a Chill Out Zone for brokers where they could pick up free fruit smoothies and have a chair massage complements of HIUA. Brokers were also able to bid in the first ever Broker Expo charity auction – hosted by Peter Staddon from the British Insurance Brokers' Association – which raised £2,710 for ChildLine.
Comments from brokers included:
"It was my first time at the event, I found it very useful. The venue and organisation were very impressive."
"A worthwhile visit where I identified two new suppliers – mission accomplished!"
"The best event I have attended in many years."
"Superb event and a great representation of exhibitors with senior representatives present. It's one of the best insurance events in the calendar."
If you missed out this year then don't forget to put the 12 November 2009 in your diary for next year for Broker Expo '09.
