The British Home Enhancement Trade Association (BHETA) has announced its first three month's programme, with retailer networking events in store for members across all market sectors.

January sees a networking forum with T K Maxx, and this will be followed by a similar opportunity at home furnishings and home improvement retailer, Leekes, in March. There will also be a Meet The Buyer event with Fenwick, whose director of buying for furniture, home and food, Kieran McBride, headlined a BHETA forum in November.

BHETA is also finalising first quarter events with a couple of other significant retail organisations in the home and garden markets to be confirmed.
