2010 Review
  • Another record-breaking year for the Printwear & Promotion Show
    Published:  02 March, 2010

    The 21st Printwear & Promotion LIVE! closed on March 2, with Exhibitions Manager, Richard Smith, reporting another record-breaking year.

    With visitor numbers up 2% on last-year's show – also a record-breaker – Printwear & Promotion LIVE! is bucking the national trend with almost 4,500 attendees.

    The show was held over three days at Birmingham's NEC. And for the first time, the International Promota Show co-located with P&P LIVE! on the second two days.

    Said Richard Smith: "In the current financial climate, and at a time when the NEC are reporting a 30% per cent reduction in visitor numbers, we are delighted to report that not only did we hold our visitor numbers for 2010, but we actually exceeded last year's attendance by 2%, making it the second consecutive record-breaking year for Printwear & Promotion LIVE!

    "Many exhibitors said it was the best show that had been to in many a year, with some reporting they had had the best results in the last 10 years of exhibiting at trade shows.

    "Coupled with the high levels of solid inquiries, many from new customers, Printwear & Promotion LIVE is being hailed as a success all round."

    Visitors to the show were also able to see the winners and runners-up in this year's Printwear & Promotion Garment Decoration Awards, sponsored by Crystal Galleries.

    The list of winners follows. For a full round-up of stories from Printwear & Promotion LIVE! please see the April issue of Printwear & Promotion.
