As Exclusively gets ready to welcome visitors to London’s Business Design Centre on 11-12 June, registered visitor numbers are tracking at 13% up on 2023 numbers, suggesting another busy show next week. This follows the 10% YoY increase last year, a figure which also saw the show well up on its pre-lockdown numbers.
In addition to UK visitors, this year, overseas buyers from as far afield as South Africa will be joined by retailers from Germany, France, Spain, Eire, Sweden and the Channel Islands.
“We are looking forward to the show with confidence given the increase in registrations and are optimistic that this will translate into increased visitor numbers,” states Exclusively’s marketing director Steve Richardson. “The show’s strengths of a very exclusive entry criteria, the best brands in the industry, and a fabulous trend showcase, combined with our ethos of really looking after our visitors with free refreshments, an evening reception and subsidised travel, is proving increasingly popular.
Continues Steve: “There are some notable trends among exhibitors. For example, tableware has made a real resurgence at Exclusively and now accounts for 20% of all stands. Brands such as Portmeirion Group and Villeroy & Boch have returned to the show, alongside regulars such as Denby, Mason Cash and Sabichi. They are joined by a good number of newcomers such as Tarhong, ABS Pottery, Sur La Table, Wade, Royal Victoria and Milton Brook.
Exclusively regularly has over 140 companies and 300 brands participating and attracts the leading UK buyers in the categories it represents.
