2009 exhibitors include Silver Cross, Britax and Chicco amongst other household names, while The Launchpad, celebrating its 5th anniversary, offers retailers the opportunity to seek out new, innovative and exciting products. The combination of large, small and brand new is said to be unique to this show, as the BPA works hard to promote innovation in the industry.

It is a great place to do business, but it is more than just a trade show. With the Launchpad, Eco Zone, seminars, product demonstrations, retailer and product awards night, it is simply an industry experience that retailers should not miss, said organisers.

BPA Baby & Child is organised by the Baby Products Association which invests revenue generated from the show into work carried out by the association which directly contributes to the wellbeing of the industry, making this the only event run by the industry for the industry. Prospective exhibitors should email Sarah Firth, Event Organiser at sarah@babyandchildfair.co.uk or call 0845 456 9570.

In other news, the BPA is delighted to announce the appointment of Christel Davidson as its new Marketing Executive; a candidate who brings a wealth of experience from both inside the nursery industry and further afield.
