The annual UK housewares show, Exclusively, opens its doors today (11 June) at the Business Design Centre, Islington, for the 2024 edition.
Exclusively brings together leading brands across housewares, tableware, SDA and gift. In its third year back after lockdowns and restrictions, Exclusively is going from strength to strength. Its importance in the industry was demonstrated by the stand space selling out as early as February this year.
Many of the exhibiting brands have been attending the show for several years. Pauline Clements, sales and marketing UK for Nordic Ware, tells PH: “The Exclusively Show has been a fixed date in our calendar for the last 12 years. It is a fantastic opportunity to meet with many of our current customers and to make new connections. A wonderful platform to showcase our new designs and ranges. It is also a great opportunity to ensure plans are in place for the busy Christmas period.”
Others have recently returned after a break. Juliet Coleman, marketing manager EMEA, simplehuman, comments: “We loved being back at Exclusively last year after a three year absence. We felt a real buzz of everyone finally getting back to business as usual and the trend has continued, despite some tricky headwinds. So we’re back for 2024 to showcase our latest innovations and products and celebrate the very best of the housewares industry.”
