On with the show Trade show updates from home and abroad Scotland Trade Fair Spring postponed to 27-29 March, 2022 Scotland Trade Fair Spring has been re-scheduled to 27-29 March, 2022. There are many reasons why this show should not be missed especially with the new March date. • Seek out new products from a myriad of Scottish suppliers who are only showing at this Show. Many will be ready to turn round orders quickly so can stock to shops by Easter. • Be first to see the Launch Gallery suppliers who are new young companies, with many unveiling their ranges at this Show. Exhibitors include Agate & Ayre, Craftypups, Edinburgh Illustrations, Eriskay Candles and The Cute Soaperie. • Learn new business tips, understand how to expand your business’s profile and be inspired with a series of panel discussions, masterclasses and talks in the Talking Shop Seminar Theatre on a range of subjects from working with influencers, to sustainability, Instagram to tourism tactics and much more - www.scotlandstradefairs.com/whats-on/talking-shop- seminar-timetable • Discover what’s ‘hot’ this year with Best Product Awards being judged on the opening morning of the Show by judges who are all Scottish retail experts – Linda Birkbeck from House of Bruar, Catherine McGurk, Glasgow Museums and Taisir Gibreel, Restoration Yard. • Scotland’s Trade Fair is the only trade gift show in Scotland. • Source products from all corners of Scotland, including a large area dedicated to the creative spirit of Orkney, including Sheila Fleet Jewellery, Ortak, Leo Kerr Mirrors, Karen Duncan Jewellery and many more. • Independent research has shown that Scotland’s Trade Fairs is one of the highest performing trade gift shows in the country with visitors particularly impressed by the high quality and range of products available. • Check out fine food too – Scotland’s Trade Show is run in conjunction with Scotland’s Speciality Food Show where about 120 top fine food and drink producers will be on display, allowing buyers a ‘one-stop’ buying platform. • Central to the Show is the Craft Gallery, which has a prominent line-up of high-end producers such as Alison Haddon Jewellery, Carla Edwards, Fernweh, Helen Chatterton Textiles, Rosella & Lime and Tessuti Scotland. • Gifts and Homewares make up the backbone of the Show with established suppliers such as Bronte by Moon, Earth Squared, Eco Chic, Isle of Skye Candle Company, Highland Stoneware, Strathmore Woollen Company, The Highland Soap Company and Pigment Productions, all taking large stands. New to the Show in this sector are companies such as Scribe & Grow, Dreamair, Lindsay McDowall Jewellery, Das Impex and Burgundy Mode. Show Director Mark Saunders said: “We had no choice about the postponement of the show but in many ways there are more things to look forward to and be excited about with the new March dates. We have new suppliers coming forward looking for stands already, as well as many exhibitors being in a better position to provide stock immediately in March so shops should expect short lead times on supply. Together with a comprehensive programme of talks, masterclasses and other activities this date should firmly be in the diaries of independent retailers.” Visit www.scotlandtradefairs.com FASHION SVP RETURNS TO LONDON WITH A NEW VENUE Fashion SVP is returning to London on 13th April with an exciting new venue and a new format.
