Another great BLE show came to a close yesterday and was the biggest ever, breaking previous records with levels of attendee and retailer visitor numbers.
With 242 exhibitors to see (5% up on last year), and overall attendee numbers at 10,847, it is a fitting way to mark the 25th anniversary this year.
TnP were at the show and Ella Haynes, event director at Brand Licensing Europe, told us: “The amount of care that the companies have put into their stands goes to show the great lengths our exhibitors go to, to represent their brands.
“With new exhibitors this year, like Lego creating a lot of excitement and more opportunities.”
Retailers attending this year included Aldi, Asda, ASOS, Next, Poundland, Primark, Sainsburys and many more.
Sara Davies MBE, entrepreneur and youngest female investor on BBC’s Dragons Den was one of the key note speakers, and you can read the full review of all the highlights in our October issue.
BLE 2025 will take place 7-9 October at ExCel London.
