  • What Our Exhibitors say

    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.

    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 received lots of orders from both existing and new stockists and I also had conversations about lots of interesting business development ideas. It was great to catch up and network with so many lovely people in the industry. The INDX show is one of my favourite shows to do - friendly, positive and successful.

    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.

    We were overwhelmed with the immensely positive feedback received from our first INDX Furniture show, from both existing and prospective retail customers. The amount of support shown from the AIS Members was very much appreciated, we are looking forward to catching up with everyone at their own stores over the coming weeks.

    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.

    We were a last-minute booking but it’s been worthwhile. By Monday lunchtime we’d opened five accounts with people we didn’t know, which is what we are here for.

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

    It was wonderful catching up with new and established stockists and seeing buyers face-to-face again. The INDX National Kidswear Show was very busy, and we didn’t stop writing orders. It also seems colour is back, and it’s great to see so many retailers buying organic, sustainable and colourful kidswear.

    We’re focusing on wholesale now, and the men’s INDX show was a big success so we’re here at INDX Woman. In terms of stockists, we’re trying to find mid-level independent department stores. We’ve already spoken to Shaws [an Irish independent department store chain] and some indies, which is great - we’ve written orders.
