HOT TOMATO Stand: 20E32-F33 hot-tom.com Hot Tomato considers one of its greatest accolades as being invited to join The Summerhouse group of companies: a like-minded consortium of premium suppliers creating a focus for all thing’s lifestyle – from fashion to furniture and everything in between. “It’s the dynamic offering of The Summerhouse that creates a valuable capsule, forecasting the trends that set a business apart on the high street,” says director Alex Machin. “Joining The Summerhouse was a real endorsement of everything we stand for. We strive to set ourselves apart and create a real point of difference in store for our customers. Being invited into The Summerhouse fold was the icing on the cake for us. “With The Summerhouse re-locating in 2020 to Hall 20 (a good omen I think!) we’ll be celebrating our own evolution with a new stand and launching more than 500 new lines encompassing; jewellery, hair accessories, scarves, bags and beachwear to name a few. Spring Fair is always an exciting time and this year’s no exception – with the whole fair undergoing a re-edit and update we thought it was time to polish up ourselves too!”
