There’s less than two weeks to go to The Gift Awards on 16 May, with Spring & Autumn Fair the event’s headline sponsor.
“Spring & Autumn Fair is delighted to continue its support of The Gift Awards as headline sponsor,” states event director of Spring & Autumn Fair, Soraya Gadelrab.
“The gift sector is integral to our events as the largest showrooms of gift products. We also love hosting the incredible entries and judges for the Gift Of The Year Awards at Spring Fair. Seeing the latest innovations in one place is inspirational and we can’t wait to celebrate with the winners, champion great retailers, and party with old friends and new acquaintances.”
Adds Soraya: “Spring Fair celebrates 75 years of retail innovation next February, with this landmark event bringing the retail industry together to discover and experience the latest products and trends as the industry grows and prospers into 2025 and beyond.”
Autumn Fair meanwhile, (1-4 September, NEC), has announced an exclusive partnership with Faire, Europe’s leading wholesale marketplace. As Autumn Fair’s online marketplace of choice, Faire will help hundreds of exhibiting brands take orders on its platform from retailers attending the show. This collaboration will bridge online and offline wholesale for the first time in the UK and simplify the buying process for up to 20,000 independent retailers.
More news from Autumn Fair is that the show has launched a New Business pavilion which has been designed to support small businesses and the next generation of makers and creators. It will help to put their products on the map and reach thousands of buyers nationwide.
