Summer 24 Launch
It is once again, with the greatest of pleasure, that we invite you to our showrooms this coming April. We always try to pack as much newness into our Spring launch, as we know the first quarter is such a crucial buying period for our customers. We also know how important it is, to continue the flow of newness across the year, helping you to keep your stores fresh with the latest products and giving your customers more reasons to flock back to you. Our doors will be wide open from 9am on Tuesday 2nd April, with our team on hand to guide you around our showrooms and talk to you about the merits of over 400 new products. Below, you'll see a glimpse into the some of the newness you can expect to see, but there is much much more to see, here in Manchester. Our usual hospitality awaits, so please do come and visit us for undoubtedly the best experience you will have of seeing our full offering.

A solution because they come in at low price points and are made for spinner display stands. The Magic Candle Tea Lights are exclusive to Widdop.

Spring Roundup
What a great start to the year, 2024 has been our busiest spring launch for several years now. We kicked off the new year with our spring launch in our showrooms here in Manchester, then we took to the road for Top Drawer, Exeter’s Giving & Living and Harrogate Christmas & Gift fair. We were delighted to be back again, exhibiting in Europe at Internationally renowned Ambiente fair and last, but by no means least, we had an event filled schedule at the Spring Fair. So, it is with thanks to all who came and visited us in the first quarter, and made it all worthwhile.
Thank you.
