‘Wow! So many Deaf people are here in Mayfair! It was really interesting- I have never seen anything like it before, first time seeing all these deaf businesses people and their experimental presentations. It is all about looking forward into business setting ups and I would love to set up my own business. I have been doing the same old thing driving a van but would like to do catering which I know everything about it already. I would like to learn more about running a business. It's great!’
Quoc Lu, Management Consultant
‘Really interesting presentations on business. In one particular I was enlightened by a very nice lady Sabina Iqbal, the founder of The Deaf Parents UK. Her presentation was very powerful. She shared her experiences about the charity she set up. I believe that you have to keep going, you cannot give up no matter how is it hard or easy. I understand her presenting message very clearly. It is very interesting and I have enjoyed it so far.’

Brijesh Moodi, Freelance Graphic Designer
‘It is very good here - it is really fantastic event for Deaf Christmas Business Show. It has given the Deaf ability to share experiences of setting up business and learning pathways how to do it. It is very interesting here, a good opportunity to learn, which is helpful for the future.’
Herbert Klein, Deaf Community Facilitator, NHS Trust
‘It is very interesting to meet new deaf people and new faces. I am amazed how many deaf people are not English and are from different countries, which I did not recognize before. A few deaf people I know, but many I have never seen before. How did they know about today, where are they from, how did they access this? I am really impressed. I am from the local Deaf community and know it very well. I like the diverse group here and we should get altogether to share our valuable experiences we have been through in the past. Here we have new faces, different cultures and different ways of life coming from abroad in the deaf business world. We should get together - I hope we do!’
