Hello Share Pickers. Among my earliest childhood memories, back in the fab ‘fifties, one that stands out is a visit to a trade show dedicated to Formica. I cherished the square inch shiny free samples. Which you must agree is a bit odd. But they do demonstrate the trade exhibition’s peculiar kind of fascination, as those of you who attended Uncle Tom’s legendary share extravaganzas in Westminster will know. A company that today benefits from the special attraction of trade shows is Informa (INF). And it’s doing rather well, even if nobody seems to call them 'trade shows' any more.
