More than 340 exhibitors have booked in for this Autumn’s Pet & Aquatics Trade Show (PATS), making it the biggest-ever version of the event.
Final preparations are being made for the three-day exhibition, which opens at Telford International Centre on Sunday September 29.
As well as a record numbers of exhibitors, the event will also feature the biggest-ever showcase of new products. All entries in the New Product Showcase, sponsored by PBW News, will be judged by a panel of independent retail experts for the New Product Awards on the first morning of the show with the winners receiving their certificates later that day.
PATS will be hosted in four halls for the first time and will see the launch of the Aquatics Zone in Hall 1A, where leading aquatics and watergardening companies will be exhibiting their products and services.
In addition, the New Starter Zone, supported by PetQuip, will be larger than ever, as more start-up companies take advantage of the dedicated area in Hall 3 to launch their ranges. Visitors will also be able to attend demonstrations from some of the country’s top dog groomers.
All visitors to PATS will receive a free catalogue, a complimentary tea/coffee voucher, and free parking.
Show director Gordon Thomas said: “There is a tremendous buzz surrounding the show.
“So much is happening at PATS over all three days of the exhibition, it really is a must-visit event for retailers and buyers. You won’t be disappointed.”
