P&P LIVE! 2023 Review Always a good day out!
The Printwear & Promotion team headed out on to the exhibition floor to hear directly from just some of the thousands of visitors who attended this year’s exhibition.
“I came to look at the new garments on display. AS Colour in particular was one brand I came to see – their quality is exceptional. I’m a screen printer by trade, but have on the backburner the possibility of expanding into embroidery. I also came to explore that avenue really. I’ve been visiting pretty much every year since 2014 and I think the show is brilliant. I’ve recommended it to a couple of friends in the past. It’s always a good day out” – Brett Elesmore, ob1
“I mainly came to meet up with people and to see if there’s anything new in the embroidery field, in particular to see the new Coloreel. I’m still on the fence about that! It’s great to meet up with old friends again. We’ve been coming for the last five years and treat it as a little mini break. I would 100% recommend the exhibition, everything you could want to run a garment decoration business is here. You need more than a day to visit!” – Frank Dunn, Sew Stitch Designs
“It was our first time at the show. It was definitely an eye-opening visit. We used it as a research trip to find out more about this side of the industry. After our experience we would definitely recommend the exhibition to others.” – Davinder Gahir and Pranoti Jadhav, Four Threads UK
“We loved our visit! We initially came to see one of our clients, but ended up meeting some definite new suppliers. We are a design and marketing company, but are looking at launching our own range of clothing for retail and used the exhibition to find out more. Even if you come just to get an insight into what the industry is all about, you’ll find your visit worthwhile!” – Aidan and Amélie Towers, 8Hours
“There was a couple of machines I wanted to see. I’m quite interested in the new Mimaki DTF printer. I’ve dealt with Xpres for years and you know you’ve got a good company behind you. It was definitely a worthwhile day out. You can’t beat meeting face-to-face and seeing how machinery works.” – Ian and Josh McCallum, Only Sport
“The main reason for our visit was to explore direct to film printing. We really enjoyed our visit and had a great day out! If you’re in the industry I would definitely recommend you visit.” – Ashley Porter and Maisie Gale, Goose & Gander
“We have a lot of suppliers here and it’s good to meet face-to-face, rather than talk via email. It’s a great opportunity to come and say hello! I’ve been coming every year for the last five years and visit to see if there’s anything new that we can take away and add to our business. Anyone that’s in the industry really should visit and see what’s available and who is here. It’s a brill day out!” – Tariq Malik, B FLY UK
“We do a lot of printing and are looking at branching out into embroidery. We came to take a look at all the things that we can add to our business. We spent a lot of time looking at the Melco machines on the Amaya stand. The show offers a lot of different elements, so I would recommend to others in the industry. There’s something here for everyone.” – Robert Lowe, Kick Off Sport
“We came just to see what was here and what connections we could make. We were potentially looking at exhibiting ourselves next year – and I think the answer is yes! We really enjoyed our visit!” – Laura Thompson, Kit Builder
“I came to source some materials and to find out what’s happening in the industry. I found a few new garment suppliers, which were interesting. It was my first visit since the pandemic and I’ve really enjoyed my visit.” – Rena Chauhan, Sublimation Print UK
