What suppliers and brands will I meet?
-
“We have visited around several times in the last 10 year and the new September timing has been so much better and truly makes sense. We come to Glee knowing what we want and come specifically to look for new suppliers that we haven’t yet placed orders here yet.”
-
"A great mix of diverse visitors – we made contact with all sorts of people we wouldn't have reached elsewhere."
-
“Glee is the main show in the UK and I’ve been multiple times to look at what’s new and gain inspiration for the year ahead. “
-
“We come to Glee every year and have done for many years. It is great for us to network. The show works better for us than Autum Fair, whilst the September dates work better as it means we will have sold all our summer stock and can get ready for the new season.”
-
“I’ve been coming to Glee for almost 40 years! Enjoying seeing new products at the show this year and meeting with our main suppliers. I’ve also been able to source some different products which will really stand out in store. Glee is one of our main shows.”
-
“It’s our third time at the show an the majority of what we’ve brought here has been new product. The quality of customers has been really good at Glee this year.”
-
“We’ve had a team of buyers at the show for the full duration of Glee, which gives us the opportunity to catch up with hundreds of our suppliers in one place whilst also looking for new suppliers. We’ve had some really useful discussions with companies so the show’s been very helpful to our planning. We also want to get the name out about our garden centre business”
