U Back to school
It has become a great focal point for retailers and suppliers to review the previous back to school season and discuss future plans and opportunities. It also presents the chance to network and socialise at post show events. This year the organisers have increased the size of the coffee lounge which proved a great area for attendees to take a break and enjoy complementary refreshments while remaining in the hall. There is also an excellent complementary
hot lunch provided every day in the comfortable on-site buyers restaurant, along with free coffee and biscuits in the showʼs coffee lounge all day. The venue which is at AIS, The Cranmore Park Conference & Event Centre, Cranmore Avenue, Shirley, Solihull, is the ideal location with good access from the M6, M5 and M42, Birmingham airport and rail networks. There is also free parking! There are a number of good hotels in the area with competitive rates for show visitors.
