SOLEX, the three-day trade show organised by LOFA for members every July, celebrates its 10th edition this year - and has attracted its most exhbitors ever.

Seven new members will join the exhibitor list this year to give buyers even more choice for the 21018 sales season.

The show attracts national and international retail and contract purchasing directors and managers from across the UK. This showe floor brings together all the

leading manufacturers of outdoor leisure products – furniture, barbecues, gazebos, parasols, outdoor lighting and play equipment – and provides a showcase for exciting new developments in design, environmental manufacturing, sustainability and production for both the retail and contract markets.

The show’s reputation was the finest place to see and buy new products has built steadily since the first SOLEX in July 2008 at the Telford International Centre, where it remained until 2012.

In 2013, the show moved to Hall 5 at the NEC, where it has grown every year since and last year exceeded 70 exhibitor stands.

The 10th anniversary show will build on the first nine, with more exhibition space and new developments but ther same relaxed, friendly and business-like atmosphere that made it an instant success.

Diary date: SOLEX 2018– 10-12 July.
