NEC January furniture show

At the beginning of the year Marque Furniture exhibited at the January Furniture show over 5 days at the NEC Birmingham, a major diary event for international retail buyers, across four halls.

 

 

 

Following from the photoshoot in December and with help from Neil Turner for the website, Paul Farrington with graphic design and Julie Allison for PR we were websited and brochured up and  presented well across a corner stand in the Premier Design Hall 1.

 

 

 

It was generally accepted by exhibitors that the show wasn’t a success with most trading around repeat orders rather than new business, but we had a lot of positive feedback.  ‘It’s the best bed in the show’.
