1. The National Outdoor Expo – last weekend, Birmingham NEC

Many thanks to everybody who came along to say hello.

I was on the Zoleo stand and spoke to many listeners of the podcast including Kevin who has gone all the way back to episode number 1 and listened to every single episode of the podcast.

Zoleo – 2nd year we have been there with Zoleo

Amazed on how their profile has been increased over the last year, great product and it is really good to see how well it is now being received both online and at the show.

Key thing is the live tracking - £4.50/ month and this can be bolted onto any package
