Bord Bia Marketplace 2015

good things happen

Good things come to those who wait or to those who work their asses off and never give up! Discuss!

Board Bia Marketplace 2015 took place this week where 400 potential customers, including 300 pre-screened international buyers came to meet with Irish food and drink producer’s intent on doing business. Key decision makers from Ireland, the UK, Europe and International markets attended the event with the hope of writing new business. Goatsbridge had personally requested the presence of a number of potential customers we had meet over the past number of years while travelling abroad.

After 22 meetings and at  approximately 5.35 pm in the Convention Centre an exhausted German arrived at our booth for his last and final meeting.  We were also talked out of it after a very intensive day of negotiation. Otto just wanted to talk about our Smoked tinned trout having heard lots of positive things about Goatsbridge as he toured the country in the lead up to the event. He tasted the product and looked in our direction and said it was his last meeting but his most inspiring one . It was “incredible” he said. A little flattery will support a man through great fatigue.

Great way to end the day. Good things come to those who wait?

Time will tell!
