Giving & Living is a smaller more relaxed show than the bigger ones and has a lot of very relevant suppliers for my business. It enables me to see a lot of different ideas and put together a lot of orders in a short space of time. It has a more relaxed atmosphere and you don’t feel overwhelmed by too much choice. It’s also easy to get to and has free all day parking close to the entrance. Anyone new to buying could find the bigger shows a bit daunting. At Exeter the reps are friendly without being pushy, and the staff are all very helpful. ”
