Once again the exhibitor line up at Exclusively Housewares 2012 attracted the very best housewares retailers from across the UK and Europe.The show, which runs at the Business Design Centre in London, for just two days, featured 122 exhibitors – the largest concentration of housewares suppliers at any UK trade show, which between them represent hundreds more housewares, tabletop and small domestic appliance (SDA) brands.

This year there were 13 new exhibitors, some of which were brands coming into the show under new UK management – for example the Italian brands Le Pentole and Tescoma (with Forma House), aerolatte (with Eddingtons), Burleigh Pottery (Denby) and Tenzo (Premier Housewares). In addition BSH Home Appliances, Brewed By Hand, Eurosonic, Guzzini, Graef UK, Nordic Ware, Rubbermaid Home Products and PHA KitchEssentials were all show first timers in their own right.

“Our exhibitor’s efforts are what makes the show successful and the amount of new product being shown this year was very noticeable!” commented show director Simon Boyd. “Our visitors certainly commented on it – from the consumer press who come to see what is being planned for Christmas, who went away with very full notebooks, to the buyers looking for inspiration and fresh ideas – we are positive exhibitors will reap their just rewards!”

EXCLUSIVELY HOUSEWARES 2012

“Exclusively Housewares is a specialist show, and as such has the depth of appeal for the real specialists, and a broad enough sweep of product categories to be useful to those looking for fun and functional additions to a wider offer,” explains show director Simon Boyd.

Visitors this year covered the whole retail spectrum in terms of both size and channel type; from cookshops, mail order, TV shopping, grocery, hardware stores, garden centres, gift shops, department stores and internet companies. In addition, the show continues to receive interest from licensing and brand agencies keen to do more work with housewares and tabletop companies.

The show also continues to attract export interest, and received visitors from over 20 countries, with buyers from Ireland, France, Spain and the USA leading the way. However, buyers also attended from Denmark, Poland and Italy and from as far away as Russia, Australia, Canada and Hong Kong.

Every year export representatives from every exhibiting company are invited to meet up with international visitors informally, the evening before the show opens.

“Our international drinks event was very successful this year – our exhibitors made the most of meeting our group of hosted and hand-picked overseas buyers, in fact the term ‘speed buying event’ was used afterwards! It’s great that these contacts were made and we hope these come good for our exhibitors who wish to expand the number of markets they work in,” commented Simon.

In addition, the show also targets 160 of the UK’s top buyers to attend the show’s annual party. This year’s party once again made use of the fabulous tented venue which is based at the HAC’s (Honourable Artillery Company) grounds right in the middle of the City of London. Complete with its own funfair, outside deck and champagne on arrival it’s a great place to relax with friends and colleagues after a day at the show.

Who visits the show?

What’s in the Review In this round up we have pulled together a quick description and photo of the main new products that were on show – each entry also indicates if the product is available now for delivery, or when that will be, and gives you an idea of the recommended retail price – plus a contact telephone number and email.

This list is not exhaustive, there were plenty of ideas being discussed at the show which have not yet made it to tangible product stage, but this is our attempt to give you a flavour of what Exclusively Housewares is all about – we hope you find it useful!
