Hi folks
I can’t believe I was last writing to you in high summer –and now autumn is most definitely upon us!
We’ve just come back from the Branded Furniture Show in Solihull, which, to be honest, was quiet (I think there are just too many shows around this time for retailers to get to all of them, however well organised – and this one is very well organised and promoted). Having said that, we opened some new accounts and had some other good orders.
It’s funny how sometimes it’s the old favourites that come out on top. Luxor, the first range we brought to the UK and top of our range, is doing particularly well in light ash at the moment. It’s probably the most versatile of all our ranges, it’s virtually bespoke and offers masses of storage. You can’t lose.
Juist From Wiemann
But, in response to demand, we also introduced a new promotional range, Juist, in white with dark rustic oak . If you buy five, you’d be able to retail a four-door wardrobe with hinged doors for under £400!
We’ve noticed a slight upturn in trade this autumn and we’re hopeful that 2014 could be a revival year (fingers crossed!). We’ve just been to the annual MOW show in Germany, which is when Wiemann preview all of next year’s potential new ranges and we’re really excited by what we saw there. Wiemann has kindly invited all of the UK sales team to Germany of our annual sales conference in mid November – which is a great gesture of their support and commitment to the UK market. After that, we’ll be finalising the 2014 collection and what we’ll be bringing to the Interiors Show at the NEC in January.
We can’t wait!!
