MY TOY FAIR
Trudi Bishop Head of Marketing & Licensing, Cartamundi
How many Toy Fairs have you been to? Four including Nuremberg.
Favourite part?
The buzz of the first day when some customers get to see your autumn range for the first time.
Early night or drinks after the show? Drinks – well it would be rude not to.
Best place to take clients? Kensington Roof Gardens.
Flats or heels?
Both, but comfy heels. Flats for when you’re resting and walking to the fair. Heels as I’m vertically challenged.
