The New Bucktons Superior Plus pigeon range, showcased at the PATS Sandown trade show this week, was enthusiastically received by trade retailers, owners Westland reported.

The wild bird and cage and aviary range available on the stand also impressed buyers, say the company.

Rachael Dickinson, senior brand manager for Bucktons, said: “Retailers were keen to find out more about the products in the range and were so impressed with what they found that they were keen to place orders right then and there.”

She said PATS Sandown was a key event and an opportunity to see all the pet trade under one roof. “This year didn’t disappoint and was a real success, both for Bucktons overall and our new Superior Plus range,” she said.
