Buyers from department stores Bentalls, John Lewis and Debenhams and key retailers included Hopscotch, Kids Cavern, Hansel & Gretel, Just Kidding and Applejacks.
Regular buyers Len Tyler and Fiona Williams from LAFF in Cornwall St Ives enthused “you have to come to Premier KIDS to keep your finger on the pulse and know your competition. Even if you look but don't buy at the show, you will follow up afterwards on the phone.
This season there is a buzz, a feeling of energy – the show has been re-lit. We have had a good day, picking up new individual brands and many interesting leads. We are loyal to Premier KIDS and find that people like to order on their home ground.”
