A day at Gadget Show Live

Posted on April 13, 2012 in Phil Jennings   

After hearing that Parajet were having a stand at this years Gadget Show Live and only living 30 minutes away I thought it would be great to lend a hand, so I booked the Tuesday off work and headed to the NEC.

I found the stand and met Tom the new sales manager for the first time. I thought we would have plenty of time during the day to find out more about each others flying experiance but I was very wrong! This was the first day of 6 that the show was on for and with over 120,000 visitors expected I was constantly busy answering questions from a steady stream of interested people. We had visits from Dragons Den researchers, BBC newsbeat, MSN bloggers and hundreds of the general public. With the new Zenith anodised in gold no one bypassed the stand without stopping to look and once they saw the film shot in Namibia they wanted to know more. The minutes turned to hours and before we knew it the day was gone. We packed up and walked to the carpark and then I realised that it was the first time that Tom and I finally had a good chance to chat! Well it was a very different day from usual for me and I thoroughly enjoyed it, roll on next years show.
