Crammed with new suppliers wanting to take a stand, Scotland’s Trade Fair Autumn is an event that caters well for companies eager to explore opportunities in the Scottish retail market.
Taking place at the SEC in Glasgow from September 21 to September 22, this boutique show organised by Springboard Events offers exhibitors more time and space to meet and network with buyers. Solid relationships are forged here ahead of the busy spring buying period in January.
For those retailers searching a dynamic mix of creativity and innovation, head to the Launch Gallery, which has already been extended with some exciting first-timers. These include Art by Annie, Curiously Charmed, Heatons, Laconic, Little White Candle, Lunabuloona, Middleshade Perfumes, Sara Willa Landscapes, and The Modern Crafter.
“We’re delighted with the surge in interest from new companies this year. The Autumn show’s more intimate setting appeals to independent, creative brands who relish getting orders and making contact with Scottish buyers”
Beyond the Launch Gallery, the Show will feature a wide range of businesses ready to make their mark in Scotland. Newcomers such as 3D Studio Gifts, Alba Wholesale, The Cottonist, All The Colour, Blade & Rose, Fantasy Candles, Hamilton & Morris Candlemakers, Heritage Playing Cards, Ink and Snail, Lismore Luminations, Mindful Art, Rogers Ink, Silver Birch Cards, Slime Party UK, Strings and Dreams, and Yoojoo, will all be showcasing their latest ranges.
Show director Mark Saunders said: “We’re delighted with the surge in interest from new companies this year. The Autumn show’s more intimate setting appeals to independent, creative brands who relish getting orders and making contact with Scottish buyers. With a strong summer tourist season and good weather on our side, we anticipate retailers will be keen to stock up ahead of the festive period.”
Craig Hunt, co-founder of The Wee Engraving Company – who exhibited for the first time last year – added: “Scotland’s Trade Fair Autumn was an incredible show for us and allowed us to showcase our products to many key Scottish buyers for the first time.”
