Plans move on apace for January's Totally shows with new exhibitors, new speakers, new layout and another small screen appearance...
The Totally DIY group of shows (Totally DIY, Totally Tools and Totally Secure) is stepping preparations up a gear, ahead of the show in January - the first for new show Totally Secure.

New bookings for 2009 include Abus, Cathedral Products, Rothley, Stadium Group, Urfic and Laddermat. And with a revamped layout and New Product Piazza it's no wonder interest is high.

So high in fact, that this year, shopping channel QVC will again be on hand to film new products on display at the exhibition.

Other new developments include the announcement that retail research specialist Mintel are the first to confirm they will be speaking at the Show Conference, as Richard Perks will take to the stage to give delegates an overview of the sector. The theme for this year's sessions is 'DIY Retailing - What the future holds'.

Hopefully, at least in the short term and judging by the amount going on, the future holds a positive and rewarding show for exhibitors and visitors alike.

Totally DIY, Totally Tools and Totally Secure take place on January 18-20 at Earls Court, London. For more details call 020 7973 6401.
