Glee's organiser says it has attracted a number of new home interior and gift companies as exhibitors at this year's show, boosting the presence of non-weather-dependent products.
The Glee team from i2i Events has selected the new companies from those that exhibit at Spring Fair, and to date nine have confirmed their places at the garden industry event, which is now 80% booked.

Joining Glee 2015 will be Petti Rossi, supplier of decorative accents for the home and garden; Tee Zed Products, home décor and baby accessories specialist with a network across over 100 countries; Noel Tatt greeting cards; Stewarts Tins, supplier of nostalgic embossed tins; and Ravensburger Global, Europe's leading manufacturer of puzzles, games and activity products.

Creekwood, a brand new company for the 2015 season, has also confirmed its place at Glee whilst exhibiting at Spring Fair, and will be bringing gardening gifts such as solar lighting, statuary and wind chimes.

Other new names to look out for include Tree-Locate, which designs, manufactures and supplies artificial trees, plants and flowers, and Minster Stylish Living, which offers home interiors, furniture, lighting and accessories.

Premier Decorations, supplier of seasonal decorations and outdoor lighting products, has also confirmed its return to Glee 2015 following a successful start to the season at Spring Fair.

Glee event manager Matthew Mein said: "The sole purpose of attending Spring Fair with my team was to attract home interior and gift brands to Glee 2015, as we recognise the value of non-weather-dependent products. Not only do these products, as a category, offer retailers ongoing impulse buy potential, but the unrivalled year-round profitability cannot be ignored.

"Because of this we are doing all we can to grow the presence of non-weather-dependent products - including gifts, clothing and catering - at Glee. I've no doubt that those brands which signed up at Spring Fair will be very welcome additions to the show, and will be sure to appeal to both garden centre and gift buyers as they source product for the year ahead."

Glee takes place September 14-16 2015 at the NEC, Birmingham.
