PATS has launched a new and improved website www.patshow.co.uk in line with its growing stature as an international pet trade show.

As well as being bright and colourful, the new website is more user-friendly and easy to navigate for both visitors and exhibitors.

Retailers and buyers can find everything they need to know about visiting PATS Sandown and PATS Telford in 2015 while exhibitors can post their latest news, including show offers and new products they’ll be launching at both shows.

Now in its seventh year, PATS is fast emerging as an international event, attracting a growing number of visitors from overseas as well as European companies choosing to exhibit their products. 

PATS’ standing as an international pet trade show is set to grow even further following the decision to move its September 2015 show to the Telford International Centre. 

The switch to Telford is seen as a great opportunity to attract more international visitors eager to discover innovative new pet products from UK companies. With England’s two largest international airports (outside of London) ideally situated for Telford – Birmingham with 110 daily arrivals and Manchester with almost 200 – travelling to and from the event will be far easier.

PATS Telford is taking place on Sunday, September 27, and Monday, September 28, 2015, and UK pet suppliers are already getting excited about the chance to showcase their products and services to a growing number of overseas distributors.

And PATS Sandown continues to go from strength to strength. All stand space sold out months before the show, and visitors to Sandown Park Exhibition Centre in Esher, Surrey, on Tuesday, March 17, and Wednesday, March 18, can expect a warm welcome from over 140 exhibitors eager to showcase thousands of new products.

Gordon Thomas, from organisers Impact Exhibitions, said: “2015 is an exciting year for PATS and our improved website is just one of the new features we’ll be introducing this year.

“PATS Sandown will be the largest to date – the whole pet trade under one roof with over 140 exhibitors, including 30 new exhibitors. And, of course, we’ll be holding our first PATS at Telford International Centre in September, so it’s really exciting.

“These are all part of our plans to enhance the reputation of the shows on the international stage. More of our UK-based exhibitors are now exporting their products so they want to see more overseas buyers visiting the show.”

The new PATS website www.patshow.co.uk is now live, and visitors can quickly and easily register for free entry to PATS Sandown online.
