Open house 2011 - review
In order to mark the opening of our new facilities, RegaLead hosted its first ever Open House in September – and the day was a massive success. As part of the event, with the generous support of our decorative glass partners across the industry, we were able to host a mini exhibition, specifically within our specialist area of decorative products for the flat glass industry.
Over 100 people visited us throughout the day
with some arriving from as far afield as Estonia
and Romania to see what we had on show.
Everyone enjoyed the opportunity to speak
directly with suppliers about each of the
products and learn about the latest technologies
available for the decoration of flat glass. For
those that wanted it, there was the opportunity
to get hands-on training with some of the
machinery as well as demonstration
workshops for a number of our solutions.
Throughout the afternoon we ran tours of our
manufacturing facility, based at our head office
nearby, so once guests had seen everything of
interest within the exhibition hall, they had the
opportunity to meet our team and learn more
about our core business at RegaLead. The day
came to a conclusion with a BBQ, which gave
everyone a further opportunity to network and
discuss the day.
The recent expansion at RegaLead was a
great reason for us to put on our first Open
House and judging by the positive feedback
from everyone who was involved, it won't be
our last event. Be sure to check the next issue
of Leading Light for more information on up
and coming events.
"The RegaLead Open House gave us the
opportunity to meet with potential customers
in a more intimate environment than other
exhibitions. We were able to talk one on one
about the technicalities of our product in the
relaxed and positive atmosphere. The day
was well organised and I believe a big
success."

Clear Thinking were pleased to be able to
show their products and services off to an
appreciative audience at the first RegaLead
factory open house.
"We met some existing customers and some
new acquaintances who we hope will become
customers in due course so for us it was a very
worthwhile day. RegaLead clearly put a lot of
effort and thought into the preparation and
organisation of the day, and that really paid
dividends - it's especially gratifying since the
demise of Glassex - that we had a forum to
present our offerings to glass companies in
the presence of other key suppliers."
Malcolm Searle – Clear Thinking Software.
"RegaLead did a great job of organising a
professional and useful event in its recent
Open House. With Glassex gone you have
to wonder if this is the way forward for
exhibitions and networking in our industry -
for individual businesses to invite partners
to a dedicated day. CENSolutions was
thrilled to support such an event by being on
hand to supply more information on the
important issue of legislative compliance to
visitors. The relaxed format of the day made
it very easy to spend the necessary time with
people to explain the up and coming changes
to standards and we applaud RegaLead for
taking the initiative to put on such an event."

"Edgetech was really pleased to be invited to
the RegaLead Open House to demonstrate
our manual Super Spacer applicator and we
were really impressed with the professional
event that Guy and his team put together.
We made some great new contacts on the
day and came away with several good quality
leads because the event was set up entirely
with the exhibitors and visitors in mind,
which made it a targeted and extremely
useful day for everyone involved. With the
lack of other exhibitions in the glass industry
today, this was a really good idea, well
executed."
