PATS, the UK’s number one pet trade exhibition, celebrated its 10th anniversary at Sandown Park today...and were presented with a special birthday cake from the Surrey venue...

PATS Sandown opened its doors to more than 150 companies who were showcasing an amazing number of new products.

Inspired Pet Nutrition were the first company to book a stand with PATS in 2009 under the Wagg brand and have been exhibiting ever since. Trade Sales Director Ben Anderson summed up the importance of a show like PATS by saying: “At IPN we believe in the concept of a trade show – how else can you fully display your entire range of products to your customers under one roof?  As our brands and ranges expand, we will continue to utilise the PATS event to showcase these to our customer base. 

“The PATS team are experienced, knowledgeable, approachable and go out of their way to ensure the show is a success each and every year. We’re looking forward to another successful 10 years and thanks to all the team at PATS for their hard work in organising such a well run trade show.”

Award-winning Pedigree Wholesale have also supported the PATS team from the outset. “The show is an excellent platform for showcasing new products and brands, as well as meeting both existing and new customers from the specialist independent pet trade,” said Ann Hodson. “The quality of visitors is excellent and we are always delighted with the high number of worthwhile enquiries we get at each show.”

PATS Sandown opened its doors at 9.30am today and visitors were greeted by key brands, household names and 37 exhibitors new to PATS Sandown, with potential bestselling items displayed on their stands as well as in the New Product Showcase.
