The UK market continues to present challenges both for brand owners (retailers and independent brands) and their manufacturing partners. The Own Label Show, now in its 3rd year, is an event that brings together private label suppliers from across the industry, to showcase innovation in this dynamic sector.
Vanessa Henry, Business analyst at IGD commented recently that “value is still an essential component of a grocery retailer's offering, however more and more, operators are now recognising the need to also promote their quality credentials in conjunction with price.” This is a core component of The Own Label Show.
“The Own Label Show will continue to grow strongly despite tough trading conditions,” maintains Jon Irwin, event director of The Own Label Show, which takes place on the 23rd and 24th November 2011 at the Hotel IBIS, Earls Court, London. “Whilst it remains a very focused event, more and more companies who are seeking to develop their UK presence are recognising the benefits that such an event can deliver. The re-location of the show next to Earls Court in the Hotel IBIS for it's 3rd edition bears testament to the strength and growth of the show.”
Dates: 23-24 November 2011 Venue: Hotel Ibis, Earls Court, London *Pre-register to visit for free at www.ownlabelshow.co.uk
