Sourcing City Marketplace



Ever the enthusiast to give new ventures a go, Ian has decided to attend this year’s Sourcing City Marketplace event. Taking place in Farnborough at the end of next month it should offer a new perspective compared to most other exhibitions as it offers a well publicised ‘focussing less on products and more on the people’ theme and aims to allow distributors and suppliers to meet in a more relaxed atmosphere and give them the chance to really drive home the reasons why they feel their companies would be useful allies.

Thank you to the distributors who have already made appointments, Ian is looking forward to meeting up with new and existing customers for 2 very interesting days on the 26th and 27th of September.

If anyone wants to get a time in the diary now with Ian for the show, please log in to the on-line appointment diary and Ian will confirm by return.

Bio Labs Colleague Updates



To provide an even better service to our expanding UK and European customer base we would like to welcome Kvetoslava Chadwick to the Bio Labs team. Kvetoslava has moved over from one of our associate companies, bringing excellent admin and customer liaison skills that she has been using in her previous role for the last 3 years.

To further boost our customer support team and help Ian, and to provide Clare and Lisa’s customers with an even better service, Karen Harper (soon to be Bodell) has also been moved from a general admin role in to a customer support role from the 1st of July.

Kvetoslava and Karen will be providing full in-house admin and telephone support to Clare and Lisa respectively providing dedicated sales admin and customer support to all their customers, freeing up more time for Clare and Lisa to liaise with their customers and visit them at various trade shows.

Our new team look forward to hearing from you all!

BIO LABS and the EUROS 2012



With the Euro 2012 competition in Poland and Ukraine starting today we thought we would let you know how our own Euro Campaign is progressing.

We have been making great strides at Bio Labs to be much more Euro Friendly, we see the European Promotional Market as much of a key area to us as our home form in order to expand our business, ‘as you don’t win anything on home form alone’ so the pundits and experts tell you.

We have taken part in the PSI Show in Düsseldorf for two years now, and have booked for 2013 already and we are now starting so see the rewards of those busy and exhausting shows, at least that is what they are led to believe in the office, otherwise everyone will want go over for 3 days holiday in the cold January weather of Düsseldorf, with a noticeable increase in exports this year.

There is also an increasing awareness of our products with more exposure in their Trade Press as well, with products and articles selected and included in the PSI journals and EPPI magazines proving the European are not too scared off by ‘British Made’ goods so here’s looking forward to a good Euro 2012 for England and an even better 2012/2013 season for Bio Labs

Showing Our Face



Since we have recently added a Blog and a Twitter account to our repetoire, we thought it would just be downright rude not to make ourselves a Facebook page as well.

We’ve linked the Facebook page to our twitter account so you can keep up to date with all things Bio, including product updates and business / industry news.

If you would ‘like’ to come and take a look then visit www.facebook.com/BioLaboratories to see our third instalment of the New Media outlets. You now have plenty of ways to stay in touch with us so you have no excuse!

Finally to all our cutomers and friends, have a fantastic jubilee bank holiday and we’ll be looking forward to hearing from you all when we all come crawling back into work.

All the best, the Bio team.
