Jane Bartlett, Director of Events, AIS and Cranmore Park: 

We’ve listened to the industry and are creating an event that is both commercially focused and inspiring. Offering a fresh perspective and a valuable opportunity for both established and emerging brands to showcase their products. 

We are delighted to be partnering with the British Craft Directory which will not only bring a strong ‘British Made’ focus to the show but also allow us to showcase independent artisans and rising stars alongside some of the gift industry’s leading brands.

We are already taking stand bookings for what promises to be an unmissable Midlands destination for all gift retailers –so watch this space for our exhibitor line-up reveal, coming soon

Denre Bruins, Founder of the British Craft Directory:

With an average of 94% of exhibitors writing business during INDX shows, we believe this is a great opportunity for our members and other companies seeking an affordable trade event. It’s also a fantastic chance to connect with quality, pre-vetted retailers, and meet with AIS Members who represent some of the UK and Ireland’s leading independent department stores and garden centres.

The organising team have confirmed that a very significant proportion of AIS Members would like to stock more British made goods, especially if those goods are also made locally. British Craft Directory is uniquely placed to reach thousands of authentic designer-makers working around the UK and to help connect them with the right retail buyers in their area and beyond.

• A diverse range of exhibitors: From established industry leaders to exciting new brands and emerging talent. 

• Networking opportunities: Sparking valuable connections between suppliers and retailers. 

• Product demos and workshops: Providing insights into the latest market trends and business strategies. 

• A vibrant and inspiring atmosphere: Creating a positive and productive environment for business.
