Published 30th August 2018

The show is now in its eighth year, and since we held the first in 2010 it’s grown each year, and this year is no exception! Once again, we’ll be holding the event across two branches over 3 dates to give our customers as much chance as possible to attend. First up, Manchester on the 19th and 20th September, followed up a week later at Glasgow on the 26th.

As always, we’ll have over 150 of the most recognised brands in attendance from across 12 sectors. Visitors will be able to browse a massive selection of products, many of which will be available on fantastic deals and offers, the type that Big Brands trade show is well known for! If that’s not enough to tempt you then there will also be a wide array of product demonstrations and new launches to keep you occupied.

After a successful debut at last years shows, this year will see the return of our in-store auction! A chance to grab some brilliant mixed pallet deals at eye-wateringly low prices by silently bidding on a variety of lots. Of course, those with an eye for a freebie won’t be disappointed as we expect competitions and giveaways to be big features at both shows.
