“This year’s show will recognise the growing demand within the retail space for quality and relevant international products,” sates Autumn Fair’s managing director Julie Driscoll. “Retailers who may not have the time to commit to costly foreign sourcing trips will now have international sourcing opportunities at their doorstep. We will be pushing to attract more international retailers to buy from UK-based suppliers who are the foundation of our show.”
Adds Julie: “We’ve gone to great lengths to ensure that we share the latest trend intelligence for international vendors to ensure that they’re bringing the most relevant products for the UK market.
Exhibitors (in Hall 10) will include manufacturers and suppliers from Pakistan, Tunisia, China and India who will be showcasing product including kitchen and dining and home.
Additionally, a dedicated Sourcing Theatre will host talks from well-known industry experts on supply chain management, partnerships, procurement and visual merchandising.
Visitors will also be able to draw inspiration from the hall’s trend installation, in order to explore trends that will impact product development and what consumers will be looking for in Autumn/Winter 2020/21. Buyers will also be able to access an exclusive Sourcing Lounge.
Autumn Fair will be taking place from September 1-4 at the NEC, Birmingham. Visit www.autumnfair.com
