And I am proud to say that based on exhibitors and visitors’ positive feedback, the Global WoodMart has already become a trade event that is looked forward to by the timber trade in 2012”.
MGW’s debut show in 2010 attracted 108 exhibitors from more than 20 countries including Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, New Zealand, South Korea, the UAE, UK and USA. In addition, over 2,000 trade buyers from 50 countries attended, with sizeable representations from Japan, the Netherlands, China, India, Singapore, Thailand and the UAE. Feedback from participants was encouraging and favourable with many expressing their interest to return for MGW 2012.

It has been very insightful.” Yaqoub H. Abdulla from the Department of Seaport & Customs, UAE said, “It has given us a chance to be in this market, opening a couple of chances to discover this wide and big market of Malaysia.” Peter Thomson of Glosswood, Australia said, “There is a good range of timbers available and it really does showcase the Malaysian timber manufacturers.”

ReplyDeleteHello Everyone, I Phil Luis a single dad from NY, USA, i will like to share this great testimony on how i got a loan from Mercia Financial Services Limited,when we were driven out of our home when i couldn't pay my bills any more,after been scammed by various companies online and have been denied financially by my bank and some other credit union i visited. My children were taken by the foster care,i was all alone in the street,until a day i shamefully walked into an old school mate who introduced me to MERCIA FINANCIAL SERVICES LIMITED.. At first i told him that i am not ready to take any risk of requesting for a financial help online any more,but he assured me that i will received my loan from them. On a second thought,due to my homelessness i took a trial and applied for the loan,luckily for me i received the loan of $320,000.00 from Mercia Financial Services Limited,is a church agency set up to help the needing. Am happy i took the risk and applied. My kids have been given back to me and now i own a home and a business of my own. All gratitude goes to Mercia Financial Services Limited,for giving a meaning to my life when i had lost all hope,if you are in need of loan and you will pay back the loan please contact him,tell him that is Mr Phil Luis that refer you to them. Contact Bishop Master Cole,via email:(catholichurchfundoffer@live.com or mercifullenders@gmail.com) Thank you.
