What our clients say

Hear directly from businesses who have used PS8 Connect to access new markets, meet international buyers and make exhibiting overseas simpler.

ISM Cologne

“Exhibiting in the UK pavilion (at ISM) puts Candy Kittens on a global stage, giving us the chance to showcase our brand in the best possible way, spark conversations with key industry players, and gain live feedback that fuels our evolution. We’ve been able to engage meaningfully with our UK partners while connecting face-to-face with prospective international customers, unlocking valuable insights and new business opportunities.

FHC China

“Thank you. It was our first show in China as a brand and it will not be our last. You made it easy for us and it really was seamless from start to finish.

ISM Middle East

“The POD option was fantastic, although the cheaper option we felt very visible still. It was actually nice to have a couple of neighbours too! There was virtually no set up for me, which is great if not many of you. The quality of the print was great as were the fixtures.

PLMA Amsterdam

“High quality buyers from key markets & retailers.

PLMA Amsterdam

“Quality good and qualified discussions about real opportunities and needs.

FHA Singapore

“The Singapore show was an excellent event for us. We met a high number of quality buyers, all of whom showed strong interest in our range. The overall standard of discussions was very high, and it proved to be a very productive exhibition for the business.

Foodex

“As usual a pleasure to work with the PS8 team on another show. Fantastic team to work with and thanks once again for the support during the show.

Anuga

“I think this was the best show that The Protein Ball Co. has ever done. We will definitely exhibit here again in 2 years time.

Anuga

“Friendly and professional support throughout! Well organised and a pleasure to be part of the group!

Anuga

“Very good service. Made Anuga a lot more painless than going it alone and the support and service from the entire team remains as good as ever.

Tuttofood

“Tuttofood has been a really good show for us so far, the hosted buyer programme has seen buyers on our stand from places like the US, to Lebanon and even Mongolia! We will definitely be back for the next edition.

SIAL

“Lots of leads to follow up and expect to secure some solid export wins in the coming weeks and months, would exhibit at SIAL again.

Summer Fancy Food

“I would highly recommend the Summer Fancy Food Show to exporters looking to grow their presence in the US market. The show attracts a wide range of buyers, distributors, retailers, and foodservice professionals, providing excellent opportunities to make new connections, raise brand awareness, and gain valuable market insight.

To get the most from the event, I would strongly recommend doing your research beforehand and identifying target buyers and companies you want to meet. Those who come prepared with a clear plan are likely to see the greatest return on their investment. Overall, it’s a well-organised show and a worthwhile opportunity for businesses serious about developing export opportunities in North America.

“It’s fair to say that the prospect of attending our first ISM as an exhibitor was somewhat daunting; thankfully, our concerns were quickly alleviated when were allocated a space within the UK Pavilion. From here, the planning process was smooth and hassle-free. PS8 helped us realise our vision of the stand, working within budget and covering every detail from layout to panel design and furniture recommendations. PS8 supported us onsite and we had a great response to the stand at the show and we look forward to working with PS8 in the future.

“We really appreciate the support of the team at the shows you do for us. It makes our lives so much easier.

“Great team and great results. Thank you for making our lives so much easier while we show the world why great British food and drink tastes so good.

“Excellent support and communication by the PS8 team, you made everything seamless and organisation was superb!

“It was great to have the PS8 Team on hand – the pre and during show check-ins were helpful as first timers. Thanks – you made it easy and the lead up “workshops” equally helpful.

“Experience has taught me that international shows are by far the best way to secure export business.
