OPEN DAY
Event Review
On February 22nd 2014 Duffells held their 3rd Open Day. The event hosted the
launch of their brand new locksmith tool catalogue which saw many manufacturers
of the tools in the catalogue demonstrating their products to eager visitors.
It also allowed some of the industry’s
most recognised manufacturers
to demonstrate their latest
product ranges and engage with
visitors to give them the latest
developments and insights to the
brands they use every day.
At The Locksmith Journal we
asked a few questions…
How successfully would you
rate Duffells recent Open Day?
It was a fantastically successful day!
We met with hundreds of customers
we speak to on a daily basis and really
built on our relationships. Visitors got
an insight into how Duffells operate and
met the people behind our service. This
was the first time we had held the event
since doubling our warehouse space so
visitors got to see how much Duffells
have grown in recent years. Many visitors
and exhibitors have said it was the best
Duffells open day yet and the best event
of this kind they had been to.
Were you happy with the
response and attendance?
The feedback we have had from
exhibitors and visitors was extremely
positive. Drawing over 500 visitors was
really remarkable. A special mention
goes to all our exhibitors who did a
fantastic job showcasing their ranges by
enabling the visitors to get “hands-on”
with their products.

What prompted Duffells to
organise this event?
So many positive developments have
occurred at Duffells over the past few years
that we wanted to share our plans for the
future. Our new Locksmith Tool catalogue
showcases our full range of tools and we
felt letting our customers know of our
expertise in this category was of paramount
importance. The event is very different
from the other exhibitions that go on in our
industry, it’s performed on a smaller scale
but that seems to create a more of personal
interactio
