Mike Phipps, Bursar and Director of Estates, will officially open the exhibition at 9:15 and present the ‘Supplier of the Year’ and ‘Representative of the Year’ awards, as nominated by University buyers (to add your own nominations, go to our nominations page).
There are 29 exhibiting suppliers this year, and there’s also a new ‘laboratory corner’, featuring suppliers on the recently awarded laboratory framework.
This year sees the introduction of ‘supplier presentations’. You can find details of this, and general information about the event, on the Purchasing Exhibition web page.
Refreshments will be available throughout the day, and a buffet lunch will also be on offer from 12:30.
