Visitors to PATS Sandown in March can expect a busy show as all exhibitor stands at the two-day event have now been sold, the organisers have revealed.
The Surrey and Esher Halls at Sandown Park will be packed with stands showcasing new products and over 140 companies exhibiting.
As well as meeting up with a long list of PATS regulars, visitors will be greeted by a host of new faces, with 30 companies exhibiting for the first time when the show takes place on Tuesday, March 21, and Wednesday, March 22, 2017.
Kittyrama is a start-up company specialising in cat accessories, and co-founder and director Carolina Ballon-Forrester emphasised the importance of exhibiting at PATS Sandown. “The show gives us a unique opportunity to introduce our award-winning products to the entire pet trade,” said Carolina. “We are looking forward to some exciting days at the trade show, packed with business opportunities for a new company like us.”
Following its success as a first time exhibitor to PATS in Telford, leading veterinary charity PDSA has signed up to exhibit at Sandown. PDSA Vet Care sales manager Paul Lilwall said: “We were delighted to launch our Vet Care range to the trade at Telford and were pleased with the outcome. We’re already looking forward to exhibiting at Sandown.”
Regular exhibitors like Unipet International see PATS Sandown as an important event to present new products and services to UK and overseas buyers. The company’s Chloe Mitchell said: “It’s the perfect platform for us, enabling us to gain feedback on our exciting new ideas, along with keeping abreast of the latest industry news. We’re looking forward to meeting with existing and potential customers.”
One of PATS Sandown’s most popular features is the New Product Showcase, which continues to grow in size and will have a new and larger home in the Surrey Hall’s Brasserie Bar in 2017.
The Showcase entries will be judged by a panel of retailer judges for the New Product Awards on the first morning of the show, and the results will be announced and promoted throughout the halls for the rest of the exhibition.
PATS Sandown will see the return of the Grooming Workshops by popular demand after a two-year absence at the Surrey venue. Members of Groom Team England will be showing off their skills in the Esher Hall where visitors will be able to witness the expertise required to become an accomplished groomer.
There will also be a full programme of free seminars during both days of the show.
Both the Surrey and Esher Halls have their own entrances and registration points, with visitors benefitting from free show entry, free parking, a free catalogue and many special offers.
