P&P LIVE! 2019 review ‘Try stopping me coming back!’


With record visitor numbers, the P&P team was keen to find out what the feeling was like on the show floor. Here some of the 5,977 visitors give their thoughts on the 30th anniversary exhibition.


Lara Seal, Sally Pate and Emma Wall,


Shires Equestrian “This was our second time at the exhibition. We came with a plan of action and found exactly what we were looking for. We


have recommended the show to others in our industry and some of them came along this year. We find


the show useful and would definitely come again.”


Katja Montola and Tiina


Ratilainen of SkyPro Oy “We have come all the way from Finland to attend! We have found plenty of new products and ideas for us to take back. We love Next Level Apparel and are so pleased to


have found them! We love the show and would definitely recommend it to others.”


Gareth Gladwin of DTB Europe “I would say I have visited Printwear & Promotion LIVE! around four or five times. I mainly come to see what others in the industry are doing. Itʼs interesting to see where we are in the market and whether we are on the right path. I always find the show interesting – there is always something that catches my eye. I have enjoyed the show this year!”


Tanya Reynolds, Untame Domain


and Dan Gurner, Precision Design and Print “It was our first time at P&P LIVE! One of our suppliers, Merlin Transfers, said they were exhibiting, said how good it was and suggested we visit. We have found the exhibition really informative – thereʼs so much more clothing here than we realised there would be. We came to source a new clothing supplier, we are very interested in Next Level Apparel and Écologie by AWDis. We loved the Skate Ramp – it really shows the flexibility of the clothing. We would definitely come back again!”

Annmarie and Justin Ridyard of Logo That Polo “It was great to see all of the 2019 styles under one roof. Madeira has literally saved our life with their colour card, now we can accurately match our threads. We also didnʼt realise they did more than threads, which is really useful to know. We also discovered PRO RTX and loved the quality of their workwear. We would love to come back again. P&P LIVE! exceeded our expectations and everyone we spoke to was extremely helpful. We have come away knowing so much more than we do now.”


Roy Marshall of


arthouse25.co.uk “I came to source uniforms for my colleagues – approximately three to four at the moment, but this will rise to 100 by the end of the year. It was my first time at P&P LIVE! and I found it to be brilliant – try stopping me coming back! I found everything I needed within the first aisle.”


Kasim Akhtar and Danyar


Mahmood of Amigos Black “This was our first visit to Printwear & Promotion LIVE! We came looking for high-end quality clothing that we can put our branding on – and I think we hit lucky! If our


business idea hits off, then thereʼs no reason why we wouldnʼt return!”


Robert Dearden and Danielle Lewis-


Daniels of O'Neills Sportswear “It was our first visit to the show. We came to just get some general ideas. We are both designers so came to get inspiration. The variety of clothing on display is amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed the exhibition. I think weʼll be back next year.”


Dorian Tranter and Louis Georgiou of


Essential Embroidery Design “We feel that Printwear & Promotion LIVE! is always a well attended event. Itʼs a great way to connect with suppliers. This year we have discovered some new and interesting pieces and there seems to be more of an emphasis on environmentally-friendly clothing at the show, which is great for us. Each year we bring the sales team to meet with suppliers and to see the new products. Nothing beats touching and feeling. We enjoy coming and feel the exhibition is important for the industry.”


Ed Worley and Ruth Hewitt of


P-Nut London “It was our first time at Printwear & Promotion LIVE! We are planning on starting a new clothing brand, so we thought we would come to check out new clothing suppliers and the different print techniques. The next step for us is to buy a printer to get going with our heat press. From what we have seen of the exhibition we would definitely come again.”
