Whilst primarily a mail order company, we enjoy attending many shows throughout the world meeting clients known to us and making new acquaintances. It is an excellent opportunity to personally discuss your requirements, examine our stock and say ‘Hello’. We have attended the British National stamp show ‘Stampex’ twice a year since 1985, enjoyed a very successful ‘London 1990’, and taken our stocks to the following countries - New Zealand (1990 International), Singapore (1990), Denmark (1991), United States (1991 and several times a year since 1994), Japan (1991 International), Italy (1992 International), Ireland (1993 and many times since), Netherlands (1994 - FEPA SHOW), Belgium (1994), Canada (1996 International), United States (1997 International), Stockholm (1998 and Nordia 2000), Australia (1999 International), London 2000, Tokyo 2001, Sydney 2005 and others less memorable! The following shows are being held, we are attending those in red:
