INSIGHT

Sandown Park was the venue for the CAI Trade Fair on the 11th February… and Frequency Distribution was there!
The Trade Fair was very well attended both in terms of manufacturers and installers alike, ensuring an informative and interesting day was had by all.
Our team enjoyed speaking with all who visited our stand and your positive comments on our new price catalogue offered at the show were much appreciated.
