After a mad scramble to Gatwick airport last week we managed to catch our flight to sunny Spain to check out the Cero a Cuatro nursery show in Valencia.
And what a busy time we had meeting all the new faces who came over to say hello – hardly a minute to step outside and enjoy the beautiful weather! We have our Spanish distributor, Baby Emporium, to thank for making us feel so welcome during our stay in their wonderful country!
Earlier this month, and after weeks of preparation (right down to coordination of exhibition outfits) we attended Kind und Jugend Trade Fair in Cologne, for the second year running.
After receiving such a positive response last year we can admit to a few pre-show nerves this time round, but we’re relieved to report that the nursery world hadn’t forgotten about PacaPod; there were lots of familiar faces making us feel right at home, and some less familiar but very exciting new faces too!
After 4 days of too little sleep (and one night of too much wine) we returned home to begin the task of sorting all the contacts, advice and information we’d received into some sort of logical order. Suffice to say this task is still ongoing.
Here’s to next year!
Can you spot your favourite PacaPod bag?
We love Harrogate trade show, it’s the largest UK nursery fair and stacked full of the best in international nursery design. Including our new range of bags for launch in autumn / winter 09 and the very special new Hopper Bag – all coming soon! We had fantastic interest in our ever expanding range and look forward to finalising a number of distribution agreements across the globe.
