VIVA at A Place in the Sun… show biz!

The number of visitors to the Show exceeded all expectations

Following the enormous success and stunning response we received at the ‘A Place in the Sun Live’ property exhibition at London Olympia back in March, for the second time in 7 months members of the VIVA team flew into the UK again last weekend, this time to take part in the Birmingham NEC edition of the Show. And thanks to the huge number of visitors who stopped by at our stand what an amazing time we all had…

The Show’s MD, Andy Bridge, had forecast an attendance of 5,500 visitors over the 3 days, although by the time the exhibition closed, a total of 6,536 people had passed through the doors, resoundingly exceeding all expectations – a third more than last year’s NEC figures and 400 up on the London Olympia event in March.

As a result, even though we’d more than doubled the size of our previous stand – as well as increasing the size of our exhibition team – it was a thoroughly enjoyable and totally full-on weekend with visitors coming to see us in their droves. In fact, we never stopped and loved every single minute!

The calm before the storm… the VIVA stand all set up and ready to go!

So, thank you Birmingham… not to mention all those of you who had come from much further afield. Meeting you all and having the opportunity of getting to know you was a pleasure, and we’re thrilled you came along. We hope you had a fantastic time, and look forward to seeing you again soon… next time on the Costa del Sol as we help you to find your very own place in the sun!
