The Launchpad celebrates its fifth anniversary at BPA Baby & Child 2009

Published: 15 June, 2009

In association with Nursery Industry, the Launchpad is an exciting area at BPA Baby & Child that has always been extremely popular with visitors and exhibitors alike, and this year will mark its fifth anniversary. The Launchpad is located at the heart of the show, where companies that have never exhibited at a UK trade show before can promote their product ranges - giving retailers a key opportunity to view never seen before innovations.

The Launchpad is designed to create a community experience in which new exhibitors can offer support and exchange ideas and advice. The BPA offers an enhanced shell scheme package at an excellent rate as well as a supportive service which helps to alleviate some of the pressures that first time exhibitors experience.

Lucy Fitzgerald from Sleepytot commented: "We had an unexpected number of orders and interest in our product and feel that it was a hugely productive three days. The Launchpad is a great idea and gives small start up companies such as ours a fantastic chance to meet a wide variety of buyers."

The Launchpad has been growing year on year, and in 2007 introduced 35 new manufacturers and suppliers of baby and nursery products to the industry, with this year looking set to be even bigger. The Launchpad will be brought to you in association with Nursery Industry, providing a continuing link between the BPA and the trade publication to promote and welcome new businesses.
