As they say in the movies, 'That's a Wrap!'
The Fabtech Expo event has finished, and our weary yet highly delighted travelers have returned home with stories to tell (some of which can't be shared!) and some fabulous new leads to explore.
The trip didn't go quite to plan from the outset, with Roy breaking his ankle several weeks before the big event. But in true Rapid style this hiccup swiftly turned into an advantage, with Roy managing to organise a specialist taxi to ferry him around and a 'rent-a-chariot' in 'Rapid red' for the duration of the show - a necessity for getting about in a timely fashion, but also lots of fun - think racing down the corridors in the hotel!
Rent a Chariot!
Overall the experience was worthwhile, with our guys catching up with suppliers and generating some exciting new product leads to follow up. They also visited the Save Phace stand, a company based in North Texas and whose products Rapid now stock (see previous blog). The EFP helmet is doing amazingly well both here and abroad, and has been greatly received by Rapid's customers (The shelves have been re-stocked because of its popularity). Needless to say, the Save Phace stand was mobbed at Fabtech, but Roy in his 'Rent a Chariot' managed to find a way through to talk business.
A warm welcome at the Save Phace stand
There was plenty of time for fun too, and shopping - Marianne!
It's wouldn't be Vegas without some glitz & glammer!
Saying "hi" to our mates at CK - "Hi Jeff!" (He must be hiding!)
There's that guy again!
