BUSY FIRST DAY AT BRUSSELS

There was plenty of traffic at HBB Grandi’s stand on the first day of the Seafood Expo Global that opened yesterday in Brussels and will continue to Thursday as usual.

‘A lot of people came to the stand and it’s a welcome opportunity to meet our established customers as well as to make contact with others who are interested in our products. People are positive and the exhibition got off to a good start,’ said HB Grandi’s marketing manager Brynjólfur Eyjólfsson.

‘We had some guests at the stand this morning, and then we had a visit from Fisheries Minister Sigurður Ingi Jóhannsson who was accompanied by staff from the Ministry and from the Icelandic Embassy in Brussels. The Minister gave himself time to stop at the stand for a while and talk to the staff,’ he said.
