Just under a year before the launch of the new British fair, Exclusively DIY, due to be held for the first time in London on 7 and 8 June 2005, bookings have been made for around 40 per cent of the exhibition space. This information comes from the organisers, the BHHMA (British Hardware & Housewares Manufacturers’ Association). The fair is based on the same format as Exclusively Housewares, which was recently staged for the third time. The size of the stands is restricted, and only bona fide buyers are permitted to attend.
