AIS will be supporting its members with new products to “excite and entice” at the next INDX Furniture Show, taking place at Cranmore Park on 28-29 August 2024.
Running Wednesday to Thursday, the first day of the show will be reserved exclusively for our AIS members, and the team looks forward to welcoming general trade colleagues on the Thursday.
“We’ll be showcasing new products and bringing together trend and innovation-led collections across upholstery, living room, dining room, garden, beds, bedroom and accessories.” Emma revealed.
She continued “INDX Furniture attracts a high calibre of both visitors and exhibitors – the show is curated by buyers, for buyers, which results in quality conversations and long-lasting business relationships being formed.”
“What also makes our show unique, is that visitors have access to the team’s expertise and advice during the live shows – you will always see the team and I on the show floor talking to Members and Suppliers.”
