Meet the buyers

The two associations Gardenex and PetQuip are organising a meet-the-buyer event and workshop at the Lea Marston Hotel, Sutton Coldfield on 14 November 2013. The free workshop, entitled “Going Global”, will run alongside the latest in a series of meet-the-buyer events. The event is supported and funded by UK Trade & Investment as part of its Export Week and in support of its ongoing joint export programme specifically for the gardening and leisure and pet product sectors in conjunction with Gardenex and PetQuip.
The content of the workshop, which is being held between the overseas buyer meetings, has been structured to provide all of the tools needed to reach new export markets or to expand existing international business. Among the various topics will be overviews of the European markets for the garden and pet product sectors. The overseas buyers travelling to the UK to meet British suppliers include Arboretum Lifestyle and Garden Centre, Allox, Arett Sales Corporation and Dubai Garden Centre.
The deadline for registration for the meet-the-buyer meetings is Friday 25 October. Full details of how to register for the buyer meetings and secure a place in the “Going Global” workshop are available from Emma Lewis on email: emma@gardenex.com or emma@petquip.com.
