For the British Council, this has been the best event so far. We were happy to see the quality of the audience improve, with lots of Postgraduate enquires to add up to the usual English Language audience. We are happy to represent the UK at this event, and we also feel that the general impartial/generic guidance we provide helps the students who then approach the other stands (Institutions), knowing a bit better what to look for. The staff and organisation were extremely helpful and pleasant.

Comprehensive market coverage, quality of students and great customer experience keeps being [the fairs] top assets. Thank you for taking care of Hobsons!

The exhibition exceeded our expectations. The overall promotion and organization of the event was excellent. The students were of a high quality and I would recommend this event to other institutions.
