James & Steel returned home from Zoomark with an order from 30 stores to stock the company's CornCat litter. That was just one of the highlights from the PetQuip-organised trip for British-based businesses to the recent trade exhibition.

TastyBone won an order from Dubai and took 66 positive enquiries, 28 of which were from important distributors. The company also appointed distributors in eight countries while at the show.
Pet Rebellion received an order for 6,000 bespoke rugs from a chain of veterinary clinics while Hing Designs, which exhibited its feeding devices for cats and dogs, discussed distributorship agreements with Italian and Finnish companies.
 “Zoomark is the latest in a series of overseas exhibitions where companies in the UK group have recorded significant successes that have led to an expanding export base for the British pet industry," said Amanda Sizer Barrett, the director general of PetQuip (pictured left).
"There is no doubt that for those firms that make the effort to show their wares at these carefully selected trade fairs there are rich pickings to be made.
"This latest show has proved that the practical support provided by PetQuip, supported by Government funding, makes exhibiting overseas much easier and certainly more lucrative.
"The British information stand at the show received 73 export enquiry contacts from throughout Europe and from Brazil and Israel. Appropriate leads will be relayed to our member companies."
Other UK company highlights:
- Lily’s Kitchen - Enquiries from around 30 countries plus positive responses from international retailers and distributors.
- Crate Ideas - Numerous enquiries from all over Europe, including Russia, Finland and Hungary convinced the company that Zoomark had provided it with comprehensive coverage of the European market.
- Animology - Expects to do considerable new business as a direct result of Zoomark, and highlighted Sweden, Cyprus and Denmark as countries showing considerable interest in its dog shampoos and sprays.
- Get Off - If just two of the enquiries for its cat and dog repellents were converted into orders they would be “worth a small fortune for the company.”
- Long Paws - Received some potentially great opportunities from “amazing international contacts” for its new range of Hennessy accessories and its water bottle range.
