An Introduction to the Show
From Alan Galloway, Head of Sports and Leisure Associated Independent Stores (AIS)
The AIS team and I are delighted to be welcoming you to Cranmore Park on 7-8 December 2022, for what will be the one-year anniversary edition of INDX Sports & Leisure.
We launched the show in the aftermath of the pandemic and despite the ongoing challenges of an uncertain economic landscape, we’re an extremely passionate team, and we remain focused on connecting sports retailers with the best brands in the business and helping new sportswear stockists find their feet.
We believe there’ll always be a place for specialist independent sports stores and departments, and that the key to success is to be authentic and innovative.
Build a genuine connection with your customers by understanding the needs and wants of your local community, and get to know your competition, including bricks and mortar locations and e-tailers too.
Whether you’re a sports and leisure newbie or you’ve been ‘in the game’ for a while, we’ve put together a high-energy two-day showcase, full of the latest global trends and market innovations across Running, Training, Fitness, Swimming, Specialist, Performance, and Lifestyle categories.
With key attending brands such as Brooks Running, New Balance, Ronhill, HOKA, Mizuno, Zoggs, Pulseroll, Specialist Sports (Adidas), Altra, FitnessMad, Reydon Sports and Pentland Brands (Speedo, Mitre and Canterbury).
There’s sure to be inspiration for every retailer, and of course, we’ll be on-hand to offer any advice and support.
And don’t forget, if you’re joining us on the first day, stick around for after-show drinks and canapés – a great opportunity to network with industry colleagues and the perfect way to finish the day.
We look forward to seeing you soon and we hope you have an enjoyable and successful show.
Alan, Nina and Steph
