Andrew McCallum, BBC Active
The BBC has been coming to this show every year since it began, and every year is a great success, this year included. We’re meeting a wide range of customers, teachers in adult education, primary and secondary school teachers, and across all the languages that we cover. So, yet again the BBC is having a fantastic show here. It’s always great to be at this show. In addition to the sales, we’re meeting a lot of people. This is the only show that is definitely well worth going to every year. In my view, it’s the best language show there is.
Stephen Cooper, Bookseller, Grant and Cutter Ltd.
The show is essential, if you’re not seen here, people ask where you are. The people we’re meeting are the sort of people we want to target; language schools, normal schools, people teaching themselves at home, libraries, but this is one way of meeting all those people in one place. We find it an extremely useful and cost efficient way of doing that.
Frank Preiss, European Schoolbook Ltd.
We’ve been coming to this show for a good 10 years and what’s special about it is the phenomenal audience. It’s a good mixture of teachers and private individuals, people enthusiastic about languages and in a great variety of different languages. A show like this is an absolutely unrivalled opportunity to meet with our target audience and if we weren’t there, we’d miss contacting an enormous number of relevant people. We’ll definitely be back, we’re already booked for next year.
Alex Priestley, Cambridge University Press
The show was a great success. We were pleasantly surprised with the amount of people that came to our stand and Friday was especially busy. We'll certainly bring more catalogues next year as we almost ran out of them! The show was well worth doing.
Kristen Lopez, Marketing Manager, Rosetta Stone
A fantastic show...a fantastic turn-out, really good quality people...we’ve made lots of sales. This year we’ve done 10 other shows and this one is by far the best! The quality has been fantastic, and sales-wise, we’ve tripled what we’ve done at any other show... a huge success, we’ll definitely be back in 2009.
Steve Eatock, World Wide Education Manager, Eurotalk
We’ve been coming to this show now for six years and it’s been getting better and better every year. This year has been the best yet. We’ve had a huge number of people coming through the stand, the sales have been absolutely fantastic and we’re over the moon. The show is extremely important, it's a key event every year, and we’re looking forward to coming back next year.
Carrick Cameron, Oxford University Press
We’ve been overwhelmed by the number of people that have come in. It’s been very useful in terms of meeting perspective new clients, getting people down onto our database and letting people know about the products that we have and offer...absolutely fabulous.
Judith Schilling, Publication Manager, European Commission
We were at The Language Show last year and it was such a great experience that I’ve decided to come back with a bigger stand this year; we’ve had even more visitors here...were delighted with the response and with the number of people that visited our stand. Apart from librarians and teachers, we are getting a lot of linguists interested in working for European institutions. We’re definitely getting a return for our investments here...definitely worth while!
Michael Little, British Council
It is the perfect place for us to be, we’re having a really fantastic time and we’re meeting a lot of people interested in working overseas...really fantastic. The numbers here at The Language Show have really exceeded our expectations.
Imran Alawiye, Anglo Arabic Graphic Ltd
The show was really beneficial for us and is now an essential part of our business plan. We were able to meet the right audience and speak with like minded people - both teachers and learners, and bring in new business. Visitors were able to see our products, take away samples and it was a great opportunity to network and see what's out there in the industry. You're doing a fantastic job!
Louisa Walsh, Global English
We’re really loving this show...it’s been great...we’re so pleased we got a stand, because the numbers are huge. This was our first time at the show and were absolutely overwhelmed by the numbers that have come up to us-really good qualified leads. We’re definitely rebooking for next year.
Flight Sergeant Lynne Lightowlers, Linguist Specialist, Royal Air Force
This is the only show in the UK where we can target linguists specifically. At the show we’ve had some really good, high calibre clients that have come to see us, which we’ve been delighted about.
Nigel Hudsworth, Distribution Manager, Delta Publishing
The show has exceeded our expectations.
Suzanne Taylor, Managing Director, EDPAX
It’s been a very good show for branding, and a very good return for investment - one of the best...we’ll be back.
Cetty Zambrano, Director of Communication, Chartered Institute of Linguists
We come here every year...it’s the one show that we can’t afford not to be in. Coming to this show is a really good return on investment for us because it gives us the opportunity to raise the standard of who we are, and to raise the standard of the profession.
Carrie Dunton, BBC Learning English
We've had a very good show and have already booked for next year. We had a great location in the TEFL village and had a lot of people visiting the stand. The show has been incredibly busy for us!

We've had good show and had lots of visitors to the stand. We had a lot of interest in our products especially teachers which was good to see. We’ve booked again for next year.
David Stratten, don Quijote
A great show...we had lots of interest and came away with huge amount of leads. The show's getting bigger and better every year and we're very happy to be involved with it. We enjoyed being involved with Language Plus and we've had some good feedback about the classes we ran. It was very well organised.
