Changing from its traditional September slot to June is proving to be a popular move with hundreds of garden and leisure brands coming together under one roof. Buyers are urged to put this new date in their diaries and make the most of networking, meeting people face to face and establishing new trading partners. Exciting innovation, merchandising solutions and new trends are order of the day and the latest launches will be gathered together in the Glee New Product Awards. New for this year is an interactive outdoor showcase, with live cookery demonstrations, highlighting the wide selection of outdoor entertaining brands at the show. Each visitor will also be able to contribute to combatting climate change with a code for a ‘free tree offer’ enabling Grow My Tree to forge ahead with its tree planting mission. www.gleebirmingham.com
