Zoomark was the first-ever trade show for Crate Ideas and owner Jonothan Goodman admitted he did not know what to expect.
 
"From the first day so many visitors stopped to look at our exciting and unique products we knew we made the right decision to exhibit.
 
"We had so many enquiries from all over Europe including Russia, Finland and Hungary, that we feel that that the show should give us the coverage in Europe we want.
 
"We were very pleased to take a few orders at the show which really was the icing on the cake.”

And Paul Hunter, from Barking Heads, said: "Zoomark 2013 was the best show for us yet!

"We are extremely pleased with the results both on the sales side and also new business side.

"The British Pavilion and PetQuip team did an outstanding job and we would all like to thank them very much for the support we were given.

"We have had some big players showing a strong and genuine interest in the brands. The position of the stand was very strong and encouraged a lot of traffic to flow through.

"Hans Sleegers, our newly appointed International Exports Manager, is already in final discussions with a number of clients.

"We are extremely positive and excited at the future of Barking Heads and Meowing Heads especially now Zoomark 2013 has taken place."

A spokesperson for the KONG Company stated:  "Zoomark 2013 was a great success. We met with most of our major mainland European distributors – it’s always wonderful to see them and shows such as Zoomark are the perfect showcase for our new product launches."
