Client Feedback
Client Comments:
“It was the first time showcasing our products at Decorex and I would like to thank Seda, SAFI and
the City of Cape Town who contributed and helped us gain the experience. It was a great success
because of the sales we generated. We also had a great breakthrough by managing to link with a
corporate retail chain which we have been trying to reach out to for many years.”
