PATS Telford Preview

Foc u s o n p e t ret ai l i n g

Gearing up for PATS Telford 2022, on course to be the biggest show in the UK pet retailing calendar.

PATS, taking place on 25-26 September, is the only event in the UK where buyers from specialist pet stores and garden centres can view all the latest product launches in the pet retailing industry under one roof. Occupying three massive exhibition halls hosting more than 210 exhibiting companies and brands, it’s also the ideal venue for retailers to talk to manufacturers and suppliers.

As well as meeting up with a long list of PATS regulars, visitors will be greeted by a host of new faces and new products. A growing number of companies are choosing to exhibit at PATS for the first time as its the perfect place to announce their future plans, and as a result, the New Starter Zone in Hall 3 has been introduced.

“I’m happy to report that all our major exhibitors are heading for Telford and we will be welcoming an impressive number of new companies,” said Gordon Thomas, Show Organiser. “They obviously regard PATS as their major platform to showcase products to UK and international buyers.

“The demand for stand space has been phenomenal, so we took the decision to extend into Hall 3. It’s great to be able to offer pet startups the chance to showcase their new products and services in the New Starter Zone, and again the take-up has been really good.”

The New Product Showcase is a great way for visitors to see and touch the new products they will be stocking. Last year more than 300 new items were entered into the Showcase so it is the best place to view potential bestsellers. The Showcase has been given a prime position in Halls 1 and 2, acknowledging its importance to both exhibitors and visitors, and all items entered by manufacturers will be put forward for the New Product Awards judged by a panel of pet retailers.

As well as seeing an unrivalled array of new pet products and speaking to top suppliers and manufacturers, visitors will also be able to witness demonstrations from the country’s leading dog groomers. And with the addition of good catering facilities and plenty of seating, visitors can concentrate fully on the main business of the day – seeing top-class products from the biggest range of pet and animal product suppliers and manufacturers all under one roof.
