Movetech UK brings Meccano to life
Small point of purchase revolves from Movetech UK have helped Royal British Legion Industries (RBLI) create eye-catching displays of Meccano models and tap into the lucrative Christmas market. The mains-powered units allowed large high street stores and smaller independents alike to display the iconic models to full advantage in the run up to the main selling season of the year. David Church, chief designer at RBLI, explains, “Some Meccano models are meant to move, and where they do, motors are
supplied with the kits. We therefore felt it was important to display the finished items with the movement built in. We needed to find a supplier that could provide small mains-powered motors that would run continuously, 24/7, and have reliability built in. Quite simply, Movetech UK came up with the goods.” The Meccano displays took pride of place throughout the Republic of Ireland in major toy retailer Smyths stores, and in the UK in John Lewis and a wide range of independent retail outlets.

Talent to take centre stage at Tendence
Tendence 2011 will see 14 students, university graduates and young designers from six countries showcase their abilities with products relating to furniture and interior design within the framework of the Talents Promotional Programme. These exciting products will be on show in Galleria 0 and a further 21 'talents' will be exhibiting new ideas for jewellery in Hall 9.3. These new designers will have the opportunity to present their products and short production runs to an international trade public, and so get the chance to successfully launch their design careers. Messe Frankfurt has been supporting young design with the programme for 11 years now. "Many committed young designers begin their careers in the international marketplace with the help of Talents and then, just a short time afterwards, find their products on show at the Frankfurt fairs,” says Nicolette Nauman, vice president Tendence.
