Garret Buckley, Joint Managing Director, Expo Events said: "We are proud to have won the Bord Bia contract for the second year in a row and indeed for the event in 2009. Having been so heavily involved with the inaugural show, we are eager to begin work on behalf of Bord Bia to establish an even more impressive showcase in 2008. The success of Bloom 2007 was unprecedented and served to prove the massive appetite for an event of its kind in Ireland."
