Out and about with POC members

As the Products of Change community continues to expand, so does its reach, and we love hearing about what our members and partners are up to, and the shows and events they are attending. Here are a few from this week:

The Garden Centre Expo 2024 is taking place this week (15-16th) at the Excel Centre London, a B2B exhibition and conference for product selection, innovation and sustainability.

At the show was Pure Table Top, showing off their array of collections, including its Eleanor Bowmer collection which recently won the Licensing Award at the Excellence in Housewares Awards, and its new Eden Project collaboration with Digital Product Passports (DPP).

Rainbow Designs were exhibiting, with its licensed plush toys and character stationery.

The Sports Merchandising and Licensing Show 2024 (SMLS) was held on Monday (14th) at Chelsea Football Club in Stamford Bridge.

Danilo was in attendance, showcasing its exclusive licensed football and sports calendars, cards, gift wrap and more.  From top football clubs to major sports brands, its range combines quality with iconic designs.

Also at the SMLS was the Fabacus UK team, who shared that sports is one of the biggest sectors in licensing and allows for brands to extend their influence beyond the field. Fabacus said it is expanding its work in the sport sector, so this show was a crucial one, and allowed the company to meet some of its collaborators.

Aykroyd & Sons was another of the POC member contingent at the SMLS, who commented that it was “A very successful day with lots of meetings and exciting plans for 2025.”

In case you missed these shows, coming up this weekend (19-20th) is the Clean & Tidy Home Show, the place to go for the latest cleaning hacks and products, at the Excel, London.

POC’s Helena Mansell-Stopher will be speaking at the Clean & Tidy Home Show as part of the panel ‘Sustainable Living: Choices for a Thriving Home, Community, and Planet,’ discussing manageable sustainability changes everyone can make in their homes to have a positive impact on both their living space, community, and the planet.
