Picon helps UK companies attend Labelexpo

Trade Partners UK (part of British Trade International) has confirmed its award to Picon of up to 120,000 in support of exhibitors attending LabelExpo in Brussels this September.

The Support for Exhibitions and Seminars Abroad (SESA) funding will be available to both Picon members and non-members.

This marks the third consecutive SESA grant Picon has secured for Labelexpo. The association attracted significant funding for Labelexpo 2001 in Brussels with assistance from the British Embassy and led a significant group to Brussels in 2001 and Labelexpo, Singapore in 2002.

Says John Brazier, chief executive of Picon: ‘The labelling sector is very important to Picon and its members and we're delighted to be able to offer financial support for Labelexpo for the third year running.

Eligible companies attending Labelexpo in September 2003 as part of the Picon overseas group will receive a refund of 60 per cent on the costs of space and construction up to a maximum of 2,300. For further details, contact Helen Heaphy on 01483 412 000.
