hosted a launch party on the Inspiring Retail Stage on Monday 5 September. The event was opened by Suzanne Ellingham, sourcing director at Autumn Fair, followed by live music and drinks. Ellingham commented: “The launch


of Source Home & Gift indicates a step change in the way retailers and brands are now able to source products. Retailers and buying teams have been telling us that they are actively looking for responsible manufacturers, those that are not just producing sustainable products, but those that pay fair wages and are fundamentally operating in the right way. The challenge for them is finding those manufacturers, Source Home and Gift solves that problem, and by working with governments around the world who are supporting this new sourcing dynamic.”
