Impressive stands and strong numbers for Glee 2018

 

Glee Show Director Matthew Mein reflected on another hugely successful event, saying: “It has been an amazing event. The visitor numbers have held very steady against last year, which considering all the changes in the industry in the last 12 months is a real credit to the garden centres. They came out in droves to find new ideas and innovation.


“I’ve heard of some really good sales results from around the show, with some very upbeat exhibitors. Even exhibitors who are normally quite reserved in giving us feedback are feeling good about Glee. There’s an air of positivity this year and garden centres and garden retailers have come here with a strong and positive outlook to place orders.”


People new to the UK gardening industry have been commenting to GTN about just how professional the industry looks at Glee this year.

 

Matthew explained: “It goes all the way through; starting with the exhibitors. This year the effort being put into the stands has been raised to another level. When you look at some of our biggest exhibitors, many of the stand builds have been very impressive and the merchandising concepts within them offer great inspiration for creating enticing store environments for a garden centre or garden retail buyers.”

 

Matthew's full comments can be read in the October edition of GTN.
