We had an amazing few days at PLASA 2023. We had the pleasure of chatting with some fantastic clients, visitors, brands, and manufacturers – it was a whirlwind of excitement. A big thank you to everyone who stopped by, our partners on the stand, and the top brands we were able to showcase. Of course, a huge shout-out goes to our amazing #ACETeam who worked tirelessly to make the stand a success – we couldn’t have done it without you guys!
