Introducing our industry partners…
The British Craft Directory is a custom-built trade sourcing platform where authentic designer-makers showcase their work to retail buyers. The directory features a broad cross-section of locally made British products and craft disciplines, from greetings cards, gifts and homeware to fine art, jewellery, ceramics, glass and woodwork.

A not-for-profit membership association with over 75 years' experience, The Giftware Association is at the heart of the gift and home industry.

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 and The Giftware Association, who 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.
