Handmade in Britain returned for the 5th time to their most favourite venue Chelsea Old Town Hall, London (27th – 30th October 2011).
Despite the financial crisis, which still grips our country, the right people walked through the door and not only bought but also commissioned several designers for Christmas gifts. General footfall remained the same as 2010 however turnover for our designers increased by half which is excellent news for everyone. We received an excellent feedback from the visitors this year for the standard of the work at the show.
The Handmade in Britain book made its launch at the 2011 Chelsea show creating quite a stir amongst exhibitors and visitors alike. Vivays publishing did a fabulous job and sales of the book helped promote business for all involved.
This year the show was supported by Applewood Cheese who provided their delicious cheese for the visitors, causing quite a stir and Partridges in Kings Road who provided mouth watering canapés for the private view evening guests. Additionally this year we were also sponsored by Unique Produce, a brand new e-commerce website that allows small producers of traditional or unique products and produce to reach out to UK customers by selling their products on the Unique Produce website and having the products and produce shipped directly to the customer.
For those of you who could not attend the show this year, here are some visual highlights from the private view evening.
If you attended our show, please let us know what did you think of the show as your feedback and continued support is extremely valuable to us.
