The British Marine Federation (BMF) Meet the Buyer Conference, held in association with UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) and IBI, took place on between Tuesday 16 - Thursday 18 September 2014.

Over two days 400 20-minute scheduled meetings took place between 16 international Buyers and 57 UK Suppliers. For all businesses attending it was a chance to see new marine products and services and network with a range of companies. Buyers from the world’s leading marine companies, including Hanse Yachts AG, Perini Navi SpA and Lubeck Yacht Trave Schiff GmbH, attended the Conference. 

Jill Chrisholm of Atlas B2B, one of the Suppliers and BMF member commented: “Every time we do BMF Meet the Buyer we do business, and it’s ongoing trade. This Conference is vital for our company to keep contacts and momentum going.” 

Holding the event during the PSP Southampton Boat Show also provided the BMF’s International team the perfect opportunity to host additional expert discussions on expanding business abroad. These included a METS Briefing and an Export Control Seminar.
