On the 22
nd – 23
rd January the Hambleside team attended the National Trade Only Show at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry. Now in its 8th year, The Trade Only National Show is recognised as the BIGGEST and BEST show in our industry, for trade only members to attend. With 340 exhibitors showing over 500,000 promotional products, the event attracts over 5,000 delegates.
The team spent the day chatting to regular suppliers, meeting new suppliers and finding out about the newest promotional products on the market. The show is an unmissable opportunity to catch up with what’s new in the industry and gives us the necessary tools to deliver an excellent service to our clients.
We were also extremely pleased to be shortlisted for the BPMA Campaign of the Year Award 2014, for the bespoke tea caddies we made and supplied for Twinings tea. The in-store branded POS was designed to raise Twinings brand awareness in Costa Coffee outlets across the UK. For more details, see our case study

Both were very impressed by Diversity, who also gave a performance! Suzie Munday, Marketing Director commented "It was a great evening at the BPMA Awards dinner. Sadly we didn't win Campaign of the Year for our Twinings tea caddies entry, but we are delighted to have been one of the finalists when so many entries were received. The team should be proud!"
