PATS Sandown attracts growing number of new exhibitors

 

PATS Sandown is the place for pet retailers to see a host of new and international exhibitors as well as the industry’s big-name brands, all of which will be showcasing their 2019 launches over two action-packed days on February 10-11.

 

It will be the first time the event takes place on a Sunday and Monday in February, and visitors will be greeted by over 140 exhibitors at the Sandown Park event in Surrey.

 

Organiser Annie Foord said: “It’s great to see over 40 companies exhibiting at PATS Sandown for the first time. Together with our valued regular exhibitors, they are sure to make the two-day show one to remember.”

 

PATS Sandown in February is the best place for pet retailers and garden centres to see the whole pet industry and all the latest products under one roof.

 

A full list of the exhibitors can be found at www.patshow.co.uk where visitors can register for free entry to the show.
