Sector Focus Spring Fair collectively welcomed over 50,000 visitors, including buyers from over 75 countries. As of Autumn/Winto 2020, Jewelley & Watch will become Jewellery & Watch and Fashion, an evnt encompassing fashion as well as accessories. Event director for Jewellery & Watch, Kirsty Broere, said: “We’ve always been really proud of the variety of exhibitors we hose here, and many businesses choose to launch to the UK market at Jewellery and Watch, partly because of our location, and our position in the buying calendar as the first Sunday in February. I think Jewellery and watch is the go-to event for many exhibitors, some of whom have been attending for 30-40 years consecutively. I think this is an opportunity for our exhibitors to showcase and meet all their customers, especially those who don’t have on the road sales agents.” Fashion SVP Dates: 29-30 January 2020 Venue: Olympia London About: Fashion SVP is a fashion sourcing event which presents buyers with over 100 global apparel producers and is organised by IDEX Exhibitions.
