Footwear UK August show gathers momentum

Organisers of Footwear UK, to be held at the NEC Birmingham, UK from 10-12 August, say that they are well ahead of targets for the August 2003 show. 'The majority of exhibitors have shown with us before which reinforces our belief that this show delivers what the trade is wanting. We're excited to have quite a number of new people coming on board this time too, including lifestyle brands who need to be in front of both footwear and clothing buyers - this is an ideal solution for them', said show director David Wilkins this week. The Footwear UK show occupies 9,000 square metres of exhibition space and runs alongside the two MODA shows, combining to make it the biggest and most comprehensive mainstream fashion buying event under one roof. Full exhibitor listings and previews will be available shortly and for full information, please visit [http://www.footwearuk.co.uk] or call Clint Henderson on +44 1707 648330.
