Pet start-up companies are being given the chance to showcase their products in front of retailers and buyers at the UK’s pet industry exhibition PATS Telford on 1 and 2 October. They’re being offered the opportunity to exhibit in the PATS New Starter Zone, a space entirely dedicated to new businesses and start-ups.
The New Starter Zone, supported by trade association Pet Quip, will enable buyers to source new and innovative products all in one place. Companies booking space within the Zone will benefit from a bespoke stand design and will receive a unique marketing package – including additional PR opportunities, social media platforms, enhanced listing in the PATS Telford Catalogue and email alerts to PATS visitors.
All exhibitors in the Zone will also have free-of-charge entry to the PATS New Starter Showcase. This gives exhibitors an opportunity to display one of their products, judged by retail and innovation expert Claire Gavin, a former director of Pets at Home, who will award the Most Innovative Product award.
