Glee 2022 and theBuyers Power List, a celebration of individuals and teams that go above and beyond. Throughout the three days a programme of thought-provoking seminars open to all, on issues shaping the garden retail sector and driving consumer demand will be offered. To further help visitors, all of the seminars will be available online after the show. As well as being a platform for UK suppliers old and new, this year’s Glee will also include an increased number from Europe. Leading the way are companies from The Netherlands featuring popular and established Dutch gardening brands as well as those that are new and emerging. Ones to look out for are Elho, Javado and Green Inspiration Plants. The number of French companies has increased too thanks to a partnership with Team France Export, Business France and Choose France. The partnership is helping to support and promote French brands and at Glee the line-up includes companies selling sheds and garden buildings, illuminated indoor plant units and GPS trackers for pets. Key suppliers from Germany are also joining the line-up along with those from more than 10 other European countries including Austria, Belgium and Italy. From
Glee’s dedicated show sectors
• Garden Care • Landscaping & Garden Decoration • Food & Catering • Retail Experience & Services • Outdoor Entertaining • Home • Gift & Clothing • Plants • PAW (pet and animal wellbeing)
further afield companies from Canada, India, Korea and China will offer a window into how gardening is developing in international markets. “It’s great to see so many more European and global brands joining us at Glee in June. There is no question that our new dateline position has opened up the potential of Glee to a much wider audience, enabling them to access Glee’s platform at a more convenient time within the buying and events calendar,” says Matthew.
