Authentic, trend-led, 
order-writing trade shows

We had an amazing show and were so pleased that both our existing customer base and plenty of new retailers loved the Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen fabrics that we used on four new upholstery groups.

INDX has always been a good show for us and the best show for menswear. We always take on new customers here and we also see existing customers. Rather than going to Manchester or London, which might be affected by train strikes, they'd rather drive here and see all the brands in one journey. The brand mix is also increasing so we’ve got more up and coming brands which have added some excitement and newness to the show.

We’ve been coming to the INDX National Menswear Show since 2018. At the beginning, it was because a few of our existing stockist partners were exhibiting but it’s the only show I go to now and I do most of my buying here.

The children’s shoe industry has been crying out for a dedicated show. It was great to be in a room with all the best children’s brands, making it easier for buyers to browse and spend time with exhibitors. We found the show to be a success, and we will certainly be coming again. It is great to support the British footwear industry, and we hope that the brands and retailers continue to do so.

This year’s INDX show was a remarkable event for Mattsons Beds, marking a period of enthusiastic engagement and potential growth for the company. Our team expressed immense satisfaction with the outcome of the event, highlighting the importance of building relationships during the INDX shows.

Now INDX has introduced a dedicated kids’ footwear show, attending was a no-brainer. It’s been some time since we've seen children's footwear brands brought together on this scale. It makes such a difference to see them alongside each other, as well as being a huge timesaving. It's also a brilliant opportunity to meet brands we don't currently stock and to catch up with other retailers. 

The INDX Intimate Apparel show just works for us. We get all the brands under one roof, we can forward book appointments and take advantage of the discounts and it’s a lot more cost effective both for travel and accommodation rather than London.

This is our 4th INDX exhibition, it is a wonderful place to come and meet our customer base, great to get feedback and it’s really important to see the people that you’re dealing with. It has definitely exceeded our expectations, it’s a very warm environment, everyone is very friendly and very helpful. We will absolutely be returning to an INDX show in the future, it really is our premium show.

I never miss an INDX toy show! It has all the top toy suppliers under one roof and gives me the opportunity to buy into show deals, see exciting new products and enables me to plan and book my orders in a friendly and professional environment.

There’s a good buzz about the place and everyone seems pretty positive.  INDX Woman is a serious buying show for us.  

Because there are a lot of independents coming to INDX, you get more honest conversations about if it [trade] has been quiet, or if sales have been better with one brand than another, and people are happy to share that information.

The INDX National Flooring Show was a great environment for meeting people and the new prospects we saw were very enthusiastic.

The INDX National Intimate Apparel Show is a real ‘one stop shop’ , allowing us to see all the major brands that we deal with. As ‘reps’ visits become ever more infrequent instore, the chance for the Buyers to actually see the ranges, and often on models, is invaluable to us.

It was nice to see exhibitors busy at the INDX National Menswear Show. We got what we wanted and wrote several orders with some suppliers there. Trade is going to be interesting, particularly with what’s happening in the world at the moment. Where that takes us, we won’t know until it happens, so we are being positive and will keep doing what we are doing. 

As usual, INDX Beds is a very good show, neatly laid out and hitting all my price points that I wanted to achieve.

The INDX Home shows are invaluable to my business, the opportunity to meet the vast majority of my suppliers under one roof, review their ranges and compare prices not only makes good use of my time, but also makes buying decisions easy.

INDX Home is an amazing show overall! Well organised and thoroughly enjoyable!

The INDX National Menswear Show has become a real crucial part of our calendar now and we are very pleased with the turnout and result we see.

I have attended the INDX National Kidswear Show previously and enjoy seeing all the brands together. It’s a great opportunity to discover new collections and physically interact with the products. The show is very worthwhile, and I appreciate the expansion of the brands showcased. I will definitely attend both days in the future, so I have time to explore the footwear brands as well.  

Love the venue. I like the location and its easy to place an order in a nice environment [INDX Woman].

On behalf of HTL UK, thank you for allowing us the opportunity to exhibit at the INDX Beds show. We appreciate the team at AIS’s support and we enjoyed a positive launch of our new bed collection.

We have attended INDX Woman a couple of times and it is perfect in all aspects.  Parking is easy and convenient, and the complimentary beverages are a nice touch.  This all adds up to an easy and enjoyable buying experience.

The INDX National Flooring Show was very positive this year, with many more customers.

INDX Home is a good show and in my opinion it has supplanted the Spring Fair as a forum for housewares.

It was so great to be part of a fair that focused on kids’ footwear specifically. Plus, being in the UK, it's a brilliant way for UK businesses to support each other. It was great to connect with existing and new customers as well as other brands, but it was about so much more than wholesale. It was such a great event, we're already looking forward to next time. 

We were very busy and the INDX National Kidswear Show is a thriving show. We had a solid two days of writing orders and meeting new people – thank you!

INDX Woman ticks all the boxes. It's definitely an order-writing show. It's unpretentious - we come to showcase and they [buyers] come to write orders so it's great.
