The Story
-----------------------------
The Platinum Group successfully deliver a suite of events and have strong roots within the British Asian community. For the last decade hundreds of thousands of Asian bridegrooms living in the UK have invested their time and money with The Platinum Group through their event The National Asian Wedding Show. Last year, The Platinum Group leveraged this audience reach by delivering season two of India Fashion Week London adjacent to the largest Asian wedding exhibition in Europe. The result? Over 16,000 Asians in the UK came to experience east-west fusion at Olympia London over a 2-day period.

The marriage between these two industries presents a huge opportunity to any brand seeking to establish a foothold in the luxury premium market, fashion a £26 billion industry in the UK and the Asian wedding industry where the average British Asian spends over double the typical western wedding consumer. With 201 in sight, The Platinum Group expect the growth of this year’s show to exceed an increase of over 20%, resulting in a directly proportionate increase in interest for the participants. We are also excited to be l a a i i l London i amm mi , which is easily accessible close to Central London.
