Head of trading and marketing, Yulia Petitt, commented: “We received some great feedback from our Members and Supply Partners. We were delighted to be able to see our Members and Suppliers in person once again and we were exceptionally pleased with a high level of attendance and participation.
“We have been eager to resume physical events for some time but we wanted to wait until it was safe to do so. We look forward to delivering our busy events schedule across 2021 and 2022 which will provide both Members and Suppliers with some fantastic opportunities to interact, network and continue to drive the business forward by capitalising on key elements of Sugro strategy which is focused on further digitalisation, diversification and group data service.
