Optrafair offers meeting place

Optrafair organiser the FMO would like to hear from optical groups and other organisations who would like to stage their regional meetings during the show, which runs from April 4-6 at Birmingham's NEC.

This year's event will have increased focus on supporting practitioners facing the implications of the tough UK economic climate and global conditions.

'Optrafair is a great meeting place when the industry and the profession come together. We feel that it is also an ideal opportunity - being well located towards the middle of the country - for optical bodies to hold their annual meetings. The facilities at the NEC are excellent for large or small gatherings and the area is well supported by a range of hotels,' said Malcolm Polley, the chief executive of the FMO.
