Buyers meet at Luton

Luton Airport has launched ‘Meet the Buyer’, due to take place on 18 October 2012. 

The event is hosted in conjunction with Luton Borough Council, the local Chambers of Commerce, the University of Bedfordshire and the Federation of Small Businesses.  The aim of the day is to give local suppliers the opportunity to showcase their services to airport related companies.

Sian Pearce, Airport Community Relations Executive, said: “The event will play an important role in encouraging the procurement of goods and services on a more local basis, helping local businesses and employment levels.  Local companies who wish to attend the event are now able to register their interest.”

Buyers from a range of companies based at the airport have already confirmed attendance including:

• Aelia
• easyJet
• Enterprise Rent-a-car
• Express By Holiday Inn

With almost 10m passengers passing through in 2011 and employing more than 8,000 people, the airport is a major economic driver for the region.  There are over 100 companies based at the airport each with its own complex supply chain. www.londonlutonmeetthebuyer.com
