Source Home & Gift has announced a comprehensive line-up of over 200 audited, quality manufacturers from around the world including China, India, Peru, Egypt, Pakistan, Ghana, Nepal, Senegal, Singapore, Europe and the USA, who will join the inaugural show, which runs parallel to Spring Fair.
The event will showcase homewares, furniture, gifts, toys, textiles, packaging and more from over 20 countries, including dedicated country pavilions from China, three Indian pavilions organised by Export Promotion Council for Handicrafts (EPCH), and the Handloom Export Promotion Council (HEPC), as well as an exclusive Senegalese pavilion.
Suzanne Ellingham, director of sourcing, Source Home & Gift, said: “It’s important to me that our show is truly international and that we have a fantastic mix of large-scale manufacturing capabilities, balanced with beautiful handicrafts from around the world. What is even more important is that this show is a trusted platform.
“Every manufacturer, or maker, that exhibits at the show is able to work in the UK and supply to Europe to our standards. We are bringing the best global responsible manufacturers to the NEC in February, and we are working with governments worldwide to find the best exporters with good, safe, working practices.
“We are taking the pain out of global sourcing and saving buyers flights around the world by bringing manufacturers right to them. The proposition of a trade show of fully audited manufacturers that at least have a Sedex audit has proven exceptionally popular with all major retailers and wholesalers. It makes Source Home & Gift a must attend event for every buyer or procurement head we speak too.”
Launched to unite the best manufacturers from key sourcing regions around the world with key retailers, brands, contractors, and interior designers who are looking to find new suppliers or explore private label opportunities, Source Home & Gift reflects a new vision for sustainable, ethical and inspirational product sourcing.
