Vertere at the North West Audio Show
We have just returned from a fantastic few days at the North West Audio Show at The Cranage De Vertere Estate.
It was our first Hi-Fi show since the pandemic so we were really looking forward to seeing some of our customers, retailers and music fans after so long.
The show didn’t disappoint! The attention to detail and effort that went into it was fantastic - from free entry for all visitors and a complimentary glass of fizz on arrival to a free shuttle bus and parking, the organisers really did think of everything to make it a great day out for all who attended.
Special thanks to Kris Sawicki for organising such a great show and your hospitality, the team who helped us unload and set-up/break-down and the guests and fellow exhibitors who made it so enjoyable for everyone.
