Big trade show presence pays off for Beco Pets



Beco Pets had a big presence at PATS Sandown and it paid off hansomely for Britain's biggest producer of eco-friendly pet products.

The award-winning company, which exports its wares to 43 countries around the world, said they detected “a terrific atmosphere of opportunity” among delegates attending the show this year.

One early highlight for Beco Pets came when their popular Beco Catnip Toys won a “Highly Commended” certificate in the show’s New Product Awards.

Their other great success was their set-up in the main Surrey Hall’s Beco Buyers’ Lounge, which included an inflatable Beco house, a lavish garden with grass and trees, and an expansive adjacent area for visitors to relax at tables and enjoy complimentary beverages.

“Our Beco Buyers’ Lounge proved a major attraction for visitors to the show and this was our best year yet. We’d definitely be up for doing it all again,” said an enthusiastic Toby Massey, Beco Pets’ co-founder, who led the design of the imaginative and colourful Beco enclosure. 

“We were giving away free Beco Poop Bags throughout the show and in just two days at Sandown we succeeded in signing up 150 new Beco Poop Bag stockists, which was a tremendous result for us.

”And to win a ‘Highly Commended’ award in the Cat Product category was a great honour for us as it was the first award we have ever won at PATS.” 

Fellow co-founder George Bramble added: “We thought this year’s show was really well attended, so we take our hats off to the organisers for doing such a great job and putting in so much hard work behind the scenes both before and during the two days.

“We denoted a terrific atmosphere of opportunity among those attending. We felt delegates were networking well, and seemed keen to find new opportunities in the pet industry. All the retailers at the show were clearly showing a great deal of enthusiasm.”
