On November 14, the latest Gardenex and PetQuip Meet the Buyer event will be taking place at the Lea Marston Hotel nr Sutton Coldfield.

Once again we have a range of buyers attending including  Arett Sales Corporation, the leading distributor/wholesaler of lawn and garden products in the US, Arboretum the leading garden centre in Ireland which also features a pet department, Allox a Swedish importer/distributor of garden products and Solfang a Norwegian internet sales company offering practical gardening products.

Also Dubai garden centre will be attending – their buyer is particularly looking for companies with ranges of products along with suppliers of fertiliser and plant protection and is especially looking for suppliers with Organic/Green/Eco Friendly Products and Solutions.

In addition to Arboretum in Ireland which retails pet products, TiendAnimal, Spain’s leading internet sales company for pet food and accessories and Warmako an importer/distributor of pet products in the Netherlands will be having meetings with potential suppliers. Whilst most meetings will have been taken, please contact us immediately to check whether meetings are still available.

Alongside the Meet the Buyer meetings is “Going Global”, a series of workshops and presentations. These sessions are FREE to attend and include lots of practical advice and information for UK companies including;

• Euromonitor presentations on the latest garden and pet market figures and trends with a particular focus on Germany. Ideal background information for those companies looking to exhibit at spoga+gafa or Interzoo next year.
