Why visit "The conversations we had with visitors confirmed that our products are exactly what retailers are looking for. We came to meet new stockists, and we left with large orders already placed." Neil Watkins, Founder/EcoCrops, "We've already met four garden centres that want to work with us – buyers we simply wouldn't have found anywhere else." Jamie Brett, James C Brett “We’ve been trading for 15 years and this is our first time at Glee as the UK distributor for Citrocana. Some of our biggest customers are farm shops so we’ve come here to see if we can expand further into garden centres. The quality of leads has been good and we’re also delighted to have won an award for another of our brands, a plant-based milk, Numilk. It’s particularly good to win an award at our first outing here. We’ll be back!” Matt Simpkins, iSqueeze “We’ve been really busy during the show and have had good feedback on our Spring/Summer 26 ranges. We’ve seen plenty of export customers and lots of orders have been taken, both for in season ranges and new products for the coming year. We’ve also opened new accounts so we’re very happy with that.” Martha Bowen, Ivyline "We met many new potential customers and received firm orders right on the stand. The response was strong enough that we rebooked immediately." SOCKSHOP “We’ve been going for 40 years and we’re very buoyant as a company; we’re still growing. Glee is a nice show in a good location and a good way of getting in touch with the garden centre trade.” Vince Young, Tudor Tea and Coffee "We can see this making a big impact in food courts and delis. The product really suits garden centres and Glee was the right place to launch." Edward Starr, Amazing Chocolate Workshop "We decided to launch at Glee and some of the bigger buyers have already been to see us. The show has a really nice, positive feel." Gino Pizza Ovens "A great mix of diverse visitors – we made contact with all sorts of people we wouldn't have reached elsewhere." Harvest Wild Bird Food "We had a team of buyers at the show for the full duration. It gives us the opportunity to catch up with hundreds of suppliers in one place while actively looking for new ones." Robert Dyas Vendor Manager/Jack Shields "I come to engage and network with key clients, understand what's new on the market, and bring that knowledge back to my clients. It's always a real boost to come to Glee." Groovy Gardening Chris Jesson "Glee is the main show in the UK. I've been multiple times to see what's new and gain inspiration for the year ahead." ASDA "We've visited several times over the last 10 years and the September timing has been so much better – it truly makes sense. We come knowing what we want and specifically to find new suppliers." Twigs Nurseries Lloyd Mitchell "We always come to Glee. It's great to see lots of new products in one place and it's a great place to source small companies and niche products that we wouldn't necessarily have found otherwise." Blue Diamond "We come every year and have done for many years. The September timing works better for us too – we've sold all our summer stock and can get ready for the new season." Michael Frecklington Cherry Tree Garden Centre "I've been coming to Glee for almost 40 years. Every year I still manage to source products that will genuinely stand out in store." Neil Grant Ferndale Garden Centre "Glee is an amazing platform for sourcing. It's really good to have everybody here in one place so you can see the full range – and it gives us the opportunity to look at new suppliers as well as meeting existing ones." Amy Stubbs British Garden Centres "You've got everybody under one roof at once. You get to catch up with lots of people, see what's new, spot the trends, and think about what you can bring to your customers."
