An Introduction to the Show
From Alan Galloway, Head of Sports & Leisure Associated Independent Stores (AIS)
[Bio: Alan began his career in sports retail as a school leaver, enjoying roles at Champion Sports, JJB Sports and Nike, becoming UK Head of Retail at Intersport, before joining AIS in 2019]
The AIS team and I are delighted to be welcoming you back to Cranmore Park for the summer 2023 edition of INDX Sports & Leisure.
Having listened to retailer feedback, we have concentrated on bringing you a much more focused show, and across the two-day event, you can look forward to exploring a commercially curated selection of brands which are relevant to today’s marketplace.
Whilst 2023 continues to provide a challenging retail landscape, we are working with trend forecasters to ensure we remain agile in response to industry themes, and in line with the consumer appetite for sports performance and lifestyle products, the upcoming offer will also reflect this.
We have a fantastic line-up of suppliers ready and waiting to unveil their latest ranges across innovative product categories including Running and Trail, Training, Fitness, Recovery, Outdoor, Lifestyle, Team Sports, Tennis and Swimming.
The key to generating revenue through 2023 and 2024? Offer customers plenty of state-of-the-art
technology, such as the latest running shoes and recovery solutions, alongside a strong never-out-ofstock selection of essentials and evergreens, such as football boots, socks, balls and shinguards, that can be in demand all year round.
And to win at sports retail in general? Spend even more time getting to know and understand your local community, engage with industry organisations, local teams, and clubs. Be authentic, be innovative, and build a genuine connection with your customers. A recent Running Industry Alliance (RIA) conference saw this ‘community effect’ in full force, with various sectors of the running industry coming together to network, chat, support and collaborate, in the week of one of the most exciting and dramatic London Marathon`s for years.
Now, enough of the pep talk, I look forward to catching-up with you soon, and if you’re attending on Wednesday, I hope that you’ll join myself and the team for drinks and canapes, from 4.00pm.
I wish you an enjoyable show - thank you for your continued support.
