Guests at the SOLEX Afterparty Event were treated to all the thrills and spills of the racetrack on Tuesday evening.
Star of the show was David ‘Crofty’ Croft who shared the inside track on all things F1 as well as presenting the prestigious SOLEX Awards.
There was also a feast of racetracks from around the globe as well as four F1 Silverstone Simulators. The top four racers battled it out for the coveted LOFA Cup in a final race, complete with live commentary.
LOFA's General Manager and SOLEX Event Director Gina Hinde said: "One word- AMAZING! Everyone enjoyed it, it was a great atmosphere – 'Crafty' was outstanding and the F1 simulators were very popular and the head-to-head rounded the evening off nicely."
Here's what some guest had to say:
Woodlodge: "We had a good laugh, very enjoyable evening. It was a lot of fun and there was absolutely nothing anyone could complain about. Crofty was absolutely brilliant, we can’t wait for next year!"
Ascalon: "Probably the best afterparty event SOLEX has done, very well organised as always, thank you!"
Rotospa: "Thank you for a great event, we really enjoyed it. Lovely food – something for everyone."
Zest: "Great fun event – Nice for everyone to come together and mix after the show. The evening was relaxed, with great humour from Crofty – certainly one to remember!"
Pacific: "Fantastic night, what SOLEX do for the industry is incredible; it’s what everyone should be doing!"

There is imagery and point of sale to support stockists and Zest will be promoting the complete cooking and entertaining collection in high circulation national
consumer magazines as well as in digital media to build brand awareness, create desire, and signpost customers to stockists, and online retailers.
Zest’s managing director, Andrew Baker, added: “The show has been fantastic for Zest, and our success on all fronts has been down to our huge commitment to understanding what todays’ consumers want.”

Although not a new product, the DuoSpa from RotoSpa was creating interest. Designed for two or three people, it has proved to be extremely popular at the recent BBC Gardeners’ World Live show cementing its space as a great garden centre line attracting interest from retired and young couples.
James Stubbs said although it is small, its quality has not been compromised as it shares the same features as the top of the range models.
The company has also recently installed a DuoSpa on a London balcony where it offers the owners an unrivalled view of the city’s skyline.
Sanctuary deluxe pergolas prove popular

LeisureGrow's Sanctuary collection of deluxe pergolas is proving exceptionally popular because of the flexibility of its different sizes and two different frame colours.

New for this year is the Sprout & Sow Potting Table, Butchers Table Set and The BBQ Prep Station all of which have been well recieved by visitors.
The company’s Peter Barker said the first morning of the show had already been a success with some large orders placed for the coming seasons.

Hartman is continuing its long line of outdoor games options with the introduction of Toca table football sets.
Available in a 2 Seat Lounge Set or Bench Set the aluminium frames come in either Brushed Nickel or Stone Weatherready cushions.
Anyone purchasing a minimum of 10 items from the Toca range at the show will be entered into a prize draw to win a visit to their garden from David Domoney who will offer an 30 minute master class, Q&A session plus signing of his new book Plants with Superpowers.


Arizona is a four or a six-seat dining set sold under the Helios range from the Trans Continental Group.
Extremely light weight, it is one of a number of sets at the show that are aluminium wrapped in a wood effect foil. Very lifelike, it offers the visual softness of wood with the durability of aluminium.
The wood effect is combined with green coating - another on trend colour at SOLEX 2025. The Arizona is available to order for retail sales in 2026.

W Garden Living goes from strength to strength with a stand at SOLEX having products to suit every customer and budget.
