"AGE is the biggest hospitality event in our calendar"

Advance Design embraced strong engagement with the hospitality market at AGE 2016. As the sole uniform exhibitor, the opportunities for hospitality uniform experts Advance Design were more abundant this year than ever before.

"AGE provided an excellent platform to connect with existing partners from within the hospitality industry and gain exposure to prospective customers", the company said in a statement adding that "expo visitors were presented with a chance to see and get close to the latest uniform trends to hit the industry, along with a broad mix of uniform solutions for every department."

According to Advance Design, "visitors admired the broad spectrum of off-the-shelf and custom-made uniform solutions on display."

"This years display showcased springs’ new styles and colours, along with durable yet lightweight and breathable materials fit-for purpose for the industry. Aprons with both full and half bibs were very popular and are currently on trend among many of our customers," the statement said. 

Feedback throughout the show was "overwhelmingly positive", the company highlighted saying "most were surprised and impressed with our online store and employee management system capabilities, especially our individual employee pack service."

“AGE 2016 delivered again this year, connecting us with some very interesting industry players from all over Australia and New Zealand. It still amazes me how many venues are in the process of a refurbishment or have even finished without considering an upgrade to their uniforms. AGE is the biggest hospitality event in our calendar and we now look forward to optimising the opportunities created at the show,” shares Managing Director Ray Lehrer.
