BHETA’s Exclusively show, which took place on 13 and 14 June, 2023, raised over £13,000 for industry charity, The Rainy Day Trust.
Exhibitors were asked to donate products from their stands at the end of the show for the charity to pass on to families in need, or sell to raise money. Five pallet loads of stock with a retail value of £13,000 were donated.
BHETA’s coo and show chair, Will Jones, said: “It was a pleasure to help RDT with the very good and much needed work it does for people in our industry. It was brilliant to see a steady stream of people dropping off boxes of stock – and the total raised is a tribute to all the companies and brands involved.”
Rainy Day Trust ceo, Bryan Clover, added: “The Exclusively Show is a tremendous event and to be chosen as the charity being supported this year was amazing. We are so grateful. The generosity of exhibitors and the support of show owner, BHETA was overwhelming. Much of the proceeds will be used to help families that are setting up home after a separation. We are also assisting Ukrainian refugees whose time with UK hosts is coming to an end after a year in the UK.”
Exclusively returns to The Business Design Centre, Islington on 11 and 12 June, 2024 and more information can be found on the website – www.exclusivelyshows.co.uk.
