Gift Focus inc Attire Accessories - May/June 2024

Exclusively exhibition space sold out Exhibition space at the UK’s leading housewares, gift and small domestic electricals show, Exclusively (11th and 12th June 2024 at The Business Design Centre, Islington) is already 100 percent sold, says Show Chair, Will Jones. Speaking in February, Jones said: “With just over four months to go, the speed at which the space was snapped up, even in these fairly challenging times, shows yet again how the housewares, gift, and small domestic electricals sector has lost none of its appetite for a physical opportunity to showcase products and network face-to-face.” Exclusively regularly has over 130 companies and three hundred brands participating and attracts all the leading UK buyers in the categories it represents. It also targets international buyers, journalists, bloggers, and influencers, so the opportunities for exhibitors are extensive. “Visitor turnout was fabulous in 2023 so I’m sure that is contributing to exhibitor enthusiasm for 2024,” Jones continued. “We’re delighted to welcome electricals brands such as Morphy Richards, Shark Ninja, Beam Group and Sebo, and Housewares brands like Bodum, Portmeirion, Minky, International Cookware & Pyrex, Aarke, ABS Pottery, Barista & Co, Zero Water, Premier Housewares and Museums & Galleries.” INDX TOY & GIFT SHOW REGISTRATION NOW OPEN Registration is now open for the INDX Toy & Gift show - the sole dedicated toy industry trade show scheduled in Autumn 2024.
