Worth an estimated £430 million in the UK alone, the corporate clothing, workwear and PPE (personal protection equipment) industry makes around 32 million garments every year. However, in spite of the industry’s stature, until now there has been no dedicated exhibition for buyers to source the latest developments in clothing and equipment. In response to this gap in the market, Ocean Events is establishing a new event, The Workwear & Corporate Clothes Show, at the NEC, Birmingham, UK, which will be held for the first time on April 2-3, 2008.
Featuring over 100 exhibition stands, catwalk fashion shows and demonstrations, the show is planned to be stylised and experiential, creating a professional, resourceful yet enjoyable forum for effective business exchange.
Commenting on the new show, Lorne Cheetham, managing director of Ocean Events said, “Nearly half the UK’s working population wears some form of uniform to their place of work, it is therefore essential for buyers and suppliers to have a visual platform to showcase their innovations in design, textile technology and new product development.”
