FROM THE EDITOR JULY/AUGUST 2022
You are invited to The Footwear Today Stockroom Show on 5th and 6th September 2022, at The National Conference Centre, Birmingham
As I write. hot sun is streaming in through the cracks in my window blinds and the temperature in my office is soaring…. Phew, what a scorcher! I do hope you are managing to keep cool in your shops, despite the hottest British summer on record!
Hopefully, we’ll be back to more comfortable temperatures once August is past, and you’ll be looking forward to the September Shoe Shows once again.
Don’t miss The Footwear Today Stockroom Show at National Conference Centre Birmingham on 5th and 6th September. Independent Footwear Retailers are invited to a free lunch at the Event, with seating, and free refreshments across the two days. On-site parking at NCC is provided free of charge for our visitors. There will also be a shuttle service provided between the NCC and NEC Railway Station. The Footwear Today Stockroom Show, with 33 leading footwear brands exhibiting over two days, will be held in the luxurious surroundings of the Brittania and Manxman suites at The National Conference Centre, Birmingham. The Stockroom Event is open from 10am to 5pm on Monday 5th September and 10am – 4pm on Tuesday 6th September. I look forward to meeting up with you there!
