Testimonials

  • "The footfall has been non-stop all day. It’s nice for consumers to get to approach our stand and get hands on so they get to see how it works, how easy it is to clean and refill. It’s definitely directed more people to our website."
    Louise Robson, Event Manager, KitchenAid
  • "You get greater exposure and 10x the amount of footfall compared to smaller shows. Looking forward to the next year.”
    Toby's Glass
  • "A fantastic way for us to engage with our existing customers as well as acquire some new ones and welcome them in the Ring family."
    Steph, Ring Doorbell
  • "It's been absolutely great for us. We've had constant people throughout the day, really good feedback and great sales."
    Simon, Pics on Canvas
  • "Absolutely amazing response! The first couple of days was far busier than what we thought. I kind of don't think we were prepared for that."
    Ocean Spray
  • "The Show Home gives a better showcase of the brand. It gives visitors a ‘stop and look’ opportunity so it’s been really positive. And I think the way it looks and the space we have along with the products we get to showcase is a testament to the brand."
    Anthony Strange, Product Development Manager, Laura Ashley
  • "We've had a huge amount of customer engagement. This was more about brand awareness for us and we've certainly achieved that, huge amounts of samples and it's been really positive in the sense that we've sold lots off of those samples as well and all the vendors here are fantastic, putting in a huge effort and really respect what everyone's doing.”
