Harrogate Christmas & Gift A “Resounding Success”

 It was all systems go at last week’s Harrogate Christmas & Gift, which returned after two years, and much uncertainty in the months leading up to opening its doors. “It was a resounding success for everyone involved,” stated Simon Anslow, the show’s organiser.

“We were absolutely delighted with how successful this year’s show was and want to thank everyone who participated for giving us their confidence, voting with their feet and turning up in hoards,” he continued. “Visitor numbers were marginally lower than the 2020 show, but exhibitors reported full order books and brisk business for the entire four days. In fact, some exhibitors stated that this was not only their best Harrogate Christmas & Gift show, but their best trade show ever.”

Exhibiting for the first time was gift company Arora Design, with Debbie Waters commenting: “We had a fantastic show. Harrogate Christmas & Gift delivered on all accounts – services, support staff, buyer attendance and orders taken. We were able to meet with quality buyers from all the channels we supply, and we will be back next year, potentially with more space based on this year’s performance.”

Returning exhibitor Alan Pimm, managing director of Sifcon International (SIL),added: “we had a fantastic show. The stand was continuously busy and the value of orders far exceeded our expectations. We also saw a higher volume of new customers this year and will definitely be returning next year.”

Next year’s Harrogate Christmas & Gift takes place from 15 -18 January 2023, with priority bookings opening in March.
