Paul Russell

Paul Russell from Ski Solutions is attending LISTEX 2012 as a buyer.  We recently caught up with him to find out more about his interest in LISTEX:
 
  • Could you give us a brief explanation of your role at Ski Solutions?

As Product Manager, I manage our relationships and contracts with key land and air suppliers worldwide and communicate our product offering to our Sales and Marketing teams

  • Why are you attending LISTEX 2012?

I’ve attended a similar function in North America called Mountain Travel Symposium for a number of years.  I’ve always found this structure to be massively helpful in solidifying existing relationships, and creating new ones.  It’s possible to consolidate a large number of meetings in a short period of time

  • What do you see as the key advantages of holding a trade show for the industry, as well as a consumer show?

Pre-allocated meeting slots for buyers and suppliers offers a far better structure than searching for colleagues at a consumer show.  A forum and environment to speak business rather than trying to find a table and space somewhere at a show is a massive advantage.

  • Who in particular are you hoping to meet with at LISTEX?
Existing contacts to see what’s new and how the general market is, plus to meet some interesting new suppliers who haven’t been on my radar to date. Meeting with the press is always useful too.
