Purdicom Roadshow 2017

This year, Purdicom’s roadshow ventured to Dublin, Edinburgh, Leeds, Birmingham and London. These five events were held at unique venues and were an opportunity for Purdicom to showcase the latest in best-of-breed wireless technology to new and existing partners – proving once again, why Purdicom are able to stay ahead of the competition and really deliver customer value across the UK and Ireland.

Dublin – Teeling Whiskey Factory

In Dublin, we were fortunate enough to be joined by three of our specialist WiFi & Point to Point and Multipoint vendors who discussed their technology and how it could be utilised for Internet Service Providers. Simon Staddon from Cambium Networks, John Haresign discussing Ubiquiti from Purdicom and Allen Walker from Encapto WiFi all gave interesting and insightful presentations, with live demonstrations also taking up part of the afternoon as well. It was followed by a tour of the venue which was a highlight for many who attended – and the whiskey was enjoyed by all!

Edinburgh – Scotch Whisky Experience

After a very early flight to Edinburgh, we were already getting ready for the second event of the Roadshow. Again joined by the same three vendors, it was an opportunity for Purdicom to talk to and connect with Scottish partners. The vendors talked through some very interesting case studies which raised some very interesting questions from those who attended both during and after the presentations. Again a tour of the venue followed on from the event and the Purdicom team – well, most of them… definitely enjoyed their second whisky tasting in two days.

Leeds – The Great Escape Game

Despite the first of many very chilled mornings in the UK, we had a great turnout for our Leeds roadshow event followed by an escape game in the chambers upstairs. Unfortunately, the team did not manage to escape the room in time… we haven’t been in contact with them since!

Birmingham – Birmingham City FC

The sun was finally shining in Birmingham, and we were lucky enough to have panoramic views of Birmingham City FC grounds in the room opposite.

London – The Marlin, Waterloo

We experienced our first touch of snow at the final event of the Purdicom’s Roadshow in London! After admiring the view of the famous London Eye from the entrance of the hotel, we were greeted by the lovely members of staff at the Waterloo, London and walked into a kitchen room situated by our meeting room which was great for networking along with a delightful buffet of freshly made sandwiches, muffins crisps, and the rest! After the event, most of the attendees joined us across the road in a local bar for cocktails.

Steve Kent, our Sales and Marketing Director would like to thank all of our vendor’s who took part, all partners who attended and a special thanks to the Marketing and sales team for all their work.

With lots of positive feedback coming through for all five events, Purdicom are really proud and pleased with the events that have taken place over the last two weeks.
