WEST SUSSEX: Unimer, the UK's leading invoice clearing house for the building products industry, celebrated another successful Unimer Lounge at the recent Interbuild show, its supplier members rushed off their feet with enquiries and order-taking.

Despite a slightly 'downsized' Interbuild, Suzanne Millward, Unimer's marketing manager expressed her satisfaction with the event. "We are tremendously pleased to be part of Interbuild. It gave us the opportunity to meet with new potential members and suppliers, and also to catch up with existing members and suppliers".

The Unimer Lounge was surrounded by exhibiting suppliers, including Conder Environmental, Flo-Plast, CombiLift, Marsh Industries, Contour Showers, Ultratape and Dale Hardware, who all stated that they were happy with the high level of interest shown in their products.

"I was also pleased to see the steady stream of visitors to the stands of our supporting suppliers," said Ms Millward. "At one point there were so many visitors to the stands that you couldn't possibly have accommodated any more!"

Patrick Buckley, commercial manager for Conder Environmental Solutions concurred with these comments: "I was delighted with the response and the quality of visitors at the event. It was an excellent opportunity for us and the feedback from all my sales staff was very good, with plenty of leads to work on."

According to Ms Millward: "The interest in our suppliers and their products and Unimer's value-added services, such as our invoice-clearing offerings has not diminished, in spite of the current economic climate."
