“Glee more than exceeded our expectations and we spent the three days having some very worthwhile and meaningful conversations with people from a wide range of companies and backgrounds.”

“Glee ticks the boxes for us on so many levels. Of course, securing new accounts, generating sales leads and showcasing our fantastic new products is right up there on the leaderboard, but so too is the brilliant opportunity that the show gives us to catch up with existing customers and industry colleagues.”
-
“The show itself exceeded expectation. The positioning of our booth was in a great location. Support from the Glee team in show was excellent and we can’t recommend and compliment the level of support enough. The show delivered us quality visitors and gave us the exposure above expectation.”
-
“Glee’s got a really good range of buyers, really good quality connections that we’re building. People that can make the decisions for their businesses and really understand the product category. We’re having really engaging conversations that otherwise might take hours or even weeks or months to try and get those connections through various other platforms.”

“Glee is the perfect show for us, we get a good mix of customers, current and new stockists coming to see us. Whether is a multiple garden centre, an independent, part of a buying group, there’s a really good mix. And that’s also why we just keep coming back.”

There's a really varied array of suppliers and lots of new and exciting products. We enjoy coming each year, everyone is so friendly and we really love how innovative the show is.

It’s been my first year at Glee and it has been great to connect with new suppliers who we are looking forward to working with in the future.

There's lots of new products to see and plenty of familiar faces. We placed a couple of orders so it was well worth the trip.
