Roman
David Osborne, Managing Director of British shower designer and manufacturer, Roman, a Sleep + Eat stalwart, says:
“Sleep is one of the events in the year that we always look forward to as it is the ultimate platform to showcase our latest products and capabilities to the international hotel audience. We have always had very positive experiences at the show and there has always been an excellent quality of visitors and a high level of branded manufacturers, which creates a unique environment. It’s one of those events where you get more recognised and known each year and the quality of visitors to our stand is always outstanding, which has opened many new doors for Roman and has created exciting opportunities.”
Newer members of the Sleep + Eat family, Camira Fabric, cite the evolution of the event as one of their reasons for returning. “Last year was our first time exhibiting at Sleep”, states Mark Holliday (Hospitality Business Manager). “We really enjoyed the show and quickly realised we want to continue to be a part of it for years to come. With the new identity of Sleep + Eat and the new location of Olympia, we are excited to see the fresh designs on show, which should encompass all that the hotel and hospitality markets have to offer.”
