SPRING FAIR, UK: CURATED MEETINGS DELIVERS NEW BUSINESS CONNECTIONS & OPPORTUNITIES
08 February 2022, Mumbai:
Day two of the UK’s leading wholesale marketplace for home, gift and fashion, Spring Fair, saw the official opening and launch of the game-changing Curated Meetings programme uniting actively sourcing buyers from retailers and destinations including Asda, Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum, and Houstons, with brands such as Filofax, Hill Interiors and Letts of London launching new collections.
Three rounds of Curated Meetings sessions took place today comprising a series of 15 minute meetings between buyers and suppliers. Monica Todd, Product Manager, was delighted with the first day, saying; “There was a great buzz in the Curated Meetings lounge today as over 100 new business connections were made.
So many businesses enjoyed and benefited from the experience, and we were delighted to hear the feedback from ASDA. Offering an intelligent roadmap to ROI, the future for Curated Meetings is very exciting and I can’t wait to get back to business again tomorrow for day two.” Drew Stevenson, Source Specialist, from ASDA commented: “We joined Curated Meetings to get a better view of selected suppliers, an overview of the show and to open a dialogue with suppliers we have not spoken to previously.
It was good time spent as we were able to see a number of suppliers in the shortest time possible. We did do some groundwork in advance to identify the right meeting opportunities.
The most valuable part of joining Curated Meetings was to sit down with people and scope out products that we have not sourced previously but that are good opportunities for us.
It has been well organised, easy to find, and been an excellent experience. I was here looking at Party, Festive and Stationery products, but would expand on these sectors.
I will join Curated Meetings again and advise our trading teams to do the same.”
