It was Pro-curo Software Ltd.’s first exhibition with ELRIG and it was actually the first exhibition, since our formation in January this year, we had attended as a stand-alone company. Having had some experience of ELRIG while working at Brady I knew the focused market and type of delegate. To be honest we had not set ourselves high expectations, due to the fact that Pro-curo was mostly aimed at academic life science researches not commercial organisations and high throughput laboratories....
