We throughly enjoyed ourselves at the annual TEG Marketplace which this year was staged at the newly refurbished National Museum of Scotland, in the beautiful city of Edinburgh. This was the closest we would get to our head office and manufacturing facility (in the nearby town of Livingston), so we put a little extra effort into our day this year by including one of our Evolution Modular cases complete with a colourful display from our friends at Blue Tokay who were also in attendance for the first time. It was good to see friends old and new at the show and to continue our relationship with TEG. We also distributed our latest copy of our Evolution magazine at the show which was fresh from the printers the magazine carries stories of temporary and touring exhibitions from around the world and can be requested via this website, or downloaded as a PDF if you prefer. See you at the next event!
