More international visitors

At the UK garden trade fair Glee, which will be open for business in Birmingham from 17 to 19 September, the International Buyers' Centre is being expanded this year in response to the number of international visitors, which has been on the increase for years. In addition, the stand organised and run by Gardenex, the UK manufacturers' export association, is moving to Hall 4. Here international visitors will find help of various kinds, which extends to the new PetQuip division and is intended to benefit buyers at Petindex, the pet trade fair which is held at the same time. The organisers expect groups of buyers from countries including Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Finland, France, Norway, Romania, Sweden and Switzerland to participate in the event.
