INDX Homewares is the only event in the UK where you can see all the major suppliers under one roof. The displays are always high quality, giving you plenty of inspiration for your own in store merchandising, along with mood boards and up to date trends for the coming season. The AIS team and the suppliers work hard to make the environment which is easy to select and buy from.
INDX Homewares shows are very important to Wax Lyrical and they allow us to have meaningful engagement with our customers and help build long term relationships with AIS members. The team at AIS are hugely supportive of the event and are always there to lend a hand
INDX Homewares is the ideal venue for us to showcase our portfolio of leading brands and products to AIS members and retailers. The show creates an opportunity to network with the Buyers in order to maximise sales. The AIS team are very helpful and supportive during the show. It’s a show all our team enjoy attending
I have been involved with AIS and INDX shows for 10 years and always found them to be professionally organised, a great place for buyers to select ranges, and suppliers to display the latest product. It is also a warm and friendly environment offering both buyers and manufacturers networking opportunities.
I've always found the INDX Homewares show a great place to meet with current and future business partners. After being a proud supplier to the AIS membership over many decades the INDX show continues to evolve & blend both traditional & innovative ideas in the ever changing retail scene. Newness is the key to current and future business success and INDX is the place to be.
The INDX Homewares show is vital to our business and the AIS team provide an ambience which is warm and inviting. It gives us a place where we can focus on the upcoming season, see the suppliers on a one-to-one basis to view their product. We always find great deals which provides us with strong promotions to attract customers to our stores. It’s also always good to catch-up with fellow retailers and be able to network too. With free car parking and onsite catering, you can relax and focus on the business in hand.
September 2022 | Team faces difficult decision but show goes ahead
Following the sad passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on 8 September, the team organising this season’s INDX Beds & Bedroom show were faced with a very difficult decision, and following much deliberation, the show went ahead as scheduled on 13-14 September.
Emma Rackley, Director of Furniture and Home at Associated Independent Stores, the UK buying group which runs the INDX trade shows, reflects on hosting the show during such an unprecedented time:
“Continuing with the show under such sad circumstances was an extremely difficult call to make and the decision was made collaboratively, following discussion with our suppliers and AIS Members.
“We were incredibly mindful of providing support to our employees, our exhibitors and our visitors and we created dedicated areas of peaceful contemplation throughout the showrooms which allowed everyone to come together and reflect”.
“There was understandably a very subdued mood across the two days, and we would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who travelled to the show and exhibited at the show.”
Curated by the AIS team of industry and product experts, INDX Beds & Bedroom showcased an impressive line-up of exhibitors, featuring some of the biggest names from the world of Beds, Bedroom Cabinets and Sofa Beds.
Presenting an inclusive mix of product ranges - from promotional through to top-end, luxury price-points, the show provided a business focused opportunity for retailers to connect with top suppliers across four showroom spaces.
Exhibitors and visiting retailers have been quick to herald the show a success:
“The INDX Bed & Bedroom Show provided us with a fantastic platform to launch our new and best-selling ranges. Visiting retailers were able to view our ranges in a super environment with our products beautifully dressed and accessorised, enabling us to maximise sales to their full potential.” - Joy Cullen, Sales Manager, Classic Furniture
“Can I thank the whole team at AIS for their support at the last INDX Beds & Bedroom show. The merchandising team did a tremendous job of helping our most successful show to date. We sold new floor displays for all 4 ranges we exhibited, a first for us, as well as opening up some brilliant new accounts.” - Rob King, National Sales Manager, Julian Bowen
“Great to be back at the INDX Beds & Bedroom Show, seeing existing suppliers, and a few new ones. This is our ‘go to’ show for all things beds and bedroom furniture, with the Dreamworld bed offer being a particularly useful range planning and product selection aid for the year ahead.”- Alastair Rainey, Ulster Stores
"I think the planning and organisation before and during the INDX Beds & Bedroom show is second to none and the facilities provided are the best in the industry. Sealy UK are proud to attend these events and to be part of the AIS family, thank you for making us so welcome". – Graham Carberry, Sealy UK
INDX Beds & Bedroom will return to Cranmore Park conference and exhibition venue on 25-26 April 2023 with the first day reserved for AIS Members only. Visitor registration is open: www.indxshows.co.uk/indx-home/beds-bedroom/registration
