Exhibitors and buyers enjoy Sunday Sundowners – more on p2
A bright and sunny start to Home & Gift Buyers’ Festival brought swift business to Harrogate yesterday. Exhibitors and buyers alike were buoyed by the glorious weather, which showcased the thousands of new products launched yesterday in their best light. “The weather has been fabulous,” says show director Cleere Scamell. “There is already that unique atmosphere that you will only ever find at this show.” After just one day, exhibitors are already thrilled with the outcome of this year’s event – and there are still three more busy days ahead. Ben Craddock, head of sales at Half Moon Bay tells the Daily News: “We always come here hoping to beat the previous year and we’ve done that already! Our expectations are high – and it has been better than we expected.” And it’s been a beauty of a show for Mad Beauty creative director Julia Cash: “It’s been a really positive show so far. We’ve had a great reaction to our licensed Beauty and the Beast range. It’s so nice to get a reaction and really see how our customers respond.” In Hall A, a change of scenery has been just the ticket for Aromatize, with director Paul Aspin saying: “We have a brilliant new location this year. The show kicked off really well for us, with all our customers coming to see our latest core and seasonal lines. An excellent show so far.”
We always come here hoping to beat the previous year and we’ve done that already!

Celebrations at Ashleigh & Burwood Ashleigh & Burwood revealed the “reimagining” of their look with a party on their stand B4 yesterday. In celebration of their upcoming 25th anniversary and 10 years since the launch of their famous fragrance lamps, guests were invited to see the new stand and the new look. Anna Borrett, product development manager, talked about the creative work behind the scenes that went into revitalising the brand, talking guests through the two new collections, Wild Things and Artistry. She tells Daily News: “We have such an abundance of in-house talent, and we’re really excited to introduce the new look to everyone. It’s so exciting to launch the new stand and the new look, and to invite all our fantastic customers to celebrate with a glass of champagne. There’s such a great buzz at the show, and I defy anyone not to love this place.”
