Professional Jeweller‘s Power List 2023 is due to be announced next month, but, before then, we are proud to announce that the Retail Titans category will be sponsored by Autumn Fair.
Autumn Fair – the UK’s one-stop-shop for wholesale Home, Gift, and Fashion – joins as a category sponsor for the first time.
Divisional managing director for Hyve Group Plc, Nicola Meadows, explained why the trade show has decided to sponsor the Retail Titans category: “From managing directors to admin assistants, Retail Titans champions and shines a spotlight on key personnel who are integral to their business and continually pushing boundaries.
“It is for this reason that Autumn Fair is delighted to sponsor this award.
“As the UK’s leading retail marketplace with an established heritage in jewellery, we welcome the opportunity to award the people who are really making an impact in their business.”
The Jewellery & Watch sector at Autumn Fair is held just a stone’s throw away from Birmingham’s renowned Jewellery Quarter, at the NEC Birmingham.
With this link to the historical Jewellery Quarter, Autumn Fair brings the industry together, offering an opportunity for the jewellery community to meet and do business at Jewellery & Watch.
Taking place from 3-6 September 2023, Autumn Fair is perfectly positioned ahead of retail’s busiest and most profitable period: the Golden Quarter.
As fashion stores are buying more high end jewellery and jewellers are looking to include fashion accessories within their offering: the Jewellery & Watch sector makes it easy for buyers to discover new products and diversify their offering in one fell swoop.
Registration is open now for buyers to access their free early-bird ticket.
Revolutionising trade fairs, this August sees Hyve’s launch of Connect @ Autumn Fair – a new meetings programme designed to transform the buying experience and offer a host of pre-show benefits for buyers to connect with leading jewellery and fashion accessories brands.
Some of the brands already confirmed for Autumn Fair 2023 are: Sea Gems, Big Metal, Scream Pretty, My Doris, Jayley, Clementine Jewellery, D&X, Eliza Gracious, Envy, Gracee Jewellery, Isles & Stars, Jackie Brazil, Chris Lewis Silver, The Old Farmhouse Jewellery, Esoteric London, Fable England, Jewelcity, Miss Shorthair, Lisa Angel, Miss Milly, Zelly, Reevo, Nova Leather, POM (Peace of Mind), JK Henderson, Miss Sparrow, Pure Fashions, Redcuckoo, Suzie Blue, and more.
Acting as a Launchpad to facilitate a new and more efficient way to shop, Connect @ Autumn Fair will help buyers to find the right brands which their customers will love.
What’s more, the platform will help exhibitors to create leads, orders and opportunities effectively by fuelling thousands of pre-arranged meetings before the show even opens.
The platform has been designed to be the most efficient pre-show planning tool.
Buyers will have access to detailed information on all exhibitors before the show opens, with search functions allowing them to filter by criteria that is most important to their business.
Users can search by product type, sustainability accreditation, minimum order value, carriage paid, and much more.
All pre-arranged meetings will take place during the show on the exhibitors’ stands, so that buyers can view, touch, and ask questions about products in person.
Now able to manage time efficiently and prioritise meetings, buyers have more opportunities to shop the show for unexpected product finds, trends, and inspiration.
The new programme is completely free for buyers to use and there is no minimum meeting requirement.
The Professional Jeweller Power List 2023 will be announced online and in print in May.
