BUYERS' FORUM MAY 2010

For any product the ultimate test is to be judged by the people who decide whether or not it will end up on the shelves. In each issue of Frontier Brands and Frontier Brands Reports, we invite three senior buyers to assess five products that are new to the marketplace.







Prior to the TFWA World Exhibition in October, the winning products from the previous 12 months are scrutinised by the year's judging panels, and the prestigious Buyers' Forum gold, silver and bronze Awards are presented at the Frontier Awards evening.
