Please send your letters to the address at the top of the page or via email to david@intras.co.uk Thanks to Paul and the IWMA we are now enjoying good business in the cable industry with continual steady growth. Tim Gent, RG Attachments, Belper Street, Leicester, UK. Thanks to the IWMA We are once again looking forward to exhibiting our range of tapeformers at the Düsseldorf 2008 exhibition. We had a very successful show in 2004 thanks to the grant funding from the IWMA, without which the exhibition wouldn’t have been possible for a small company such as us. The IWMA assisted us in obtaining a stand in a great location to help us make themost of our time at the exhibition and spread our existence. I would also like to mention all the help and constructive advice we received from the IWMA, and in particular Paul Browne at EuroWire Magazine (INTRAS), who came up with some great ideas and advice on how we could get into the cable industry.

Warning over Fairguide.com/ Construct Data Verlag

Dear Sir

FairGuide.com/Construct Data Verlag has no connection with Messe Düsseldorf ASIA or any of our trade exhibitions, in particular wire Southeast Asia 2007 and Tube Southeast Asia 2007. Austrian-based FairGuide.com/Construct Data Verlag targets companies through exhibition guides aimed at exhibitors.

Their current activities cover companies through Europe, the Americas and Asia. Construct Data, through its online FairGuide, offers online services and uses a form that resembles an organiser’s free catalogue listing service, inviting exhibitors to sign and return the form for an entry in an on-line directory. Exhibitors who sign and return the form are then contracted into a three-year, non-retractable agreement, which could cost the exhibitor a significant amount of money. Construct Data has engaged the services of Austrian debt collection agency Gravis Inkasso GmbH and Swiss debt collection agency Premium Recovery AG (a Construct Data subsidiary). If you have been approached by FairGuide.com/Construct Data Verlag, please do not complete the listings form.
