RotoMetrics is opening its doors again for another edition of its European Open House event, which be held on 27 and 28 September at the company’s UK headquarters near Walsall. The growth of the biannual event has meant that an extra 40% of space has had to be allocated.

Speakers from the retail world will complement a varied programme. These include Ian Schofield, from Iceland Foods, who will be discussing the trends that are taking place within the retail sector and explain how packaging is affected, and Paul Currie, from The Lakes Distillery Cumbria, who will be talking about the creation of new brands and how his company has been successful in doing this.
