The LANDSCAPE Show at Battersea Park on the 23rd & 24th September was a huge success, enjoying two days where the industry united under one roof.
The industry’s premier trade event for the entire interior and exterior landscaping industry was back in full-force with visitor attendance up and exhibitors already re-booking for next years event. 1624 trade specialists attended the show, an increase of 28% compared to 2013 which is partly due to the increase of exhibitors, up by 21% on 2013, bringing an even bigger range of products and industry knowledge. Combined, there was a total of 2558 delegates within the venue across the two days. Featuring some of the best known and most unique manufacturers and suppliers from across Globe, the event attracted visitors from 29 different countries including: Dubai, Ireland, Australia, USA, Spain, Italy, Canada, Netherlands, Japan, Belgium, France, Bulgaria, Sweden, Germany, Denmark, Finland, Austria, Latvia, Poland, Russia, Israel, Trinidad, South Korea, Singapore and Nigeria. 93% of the visitors were able to heavily influence or make the purchasing decisions. The focus was on high net worth projects for wealthy clients within London, the Home Counties and abroad.
