This was my first trip to China. Going with the support of the

GBA team was critical for me as an entrepreneur seeking to

start new businesses in an unfamiliar market.

I appreciate the time taken to create a personalised agenda for

me. This enabled me to visit relevant areas for specific business

interests and therefore maximise the benefits of the exhibition.

As a result, I have made very useful contacts with

manufacturers and am planning to place orders with several

companies.
