Glasgow is set to host Scotland’s largest and fastest-growing trade event, focusing on gifts, fine food, and drink. From January 19 to 21, 2025, the Scottish Event Campus (SEC) will bring together independent retailers and brands from across the country. The event promises to be a vibrant showcase of Scotland’s best gifts, homewares, jewellery, and specialty food and drink products.
Growing Demand and Expanding Presence
Following a highly successful summer of Scottish sales, the demand for exhibition spaces has surged, with the event nearly reaching full capacity. The 2025 trade show is expected to be bigger and better, highlighting prominent Scottish brands such as Eribe, Dook of Edinburgh, Scottish Fine Soaps, and Neon Magpie, among many others.
Featured Brands and New Companies
- Eribe and Dook of Edinburgh will be among the major brands on display, offering quality Scottish fashion and accessories.
- The event will also feature products from emerging companies, such as Woolkind, Malmo Home, and Brilliantly Brave Cards.
The craft gallery will spotlight unique, handmade products from creators like Orraman Leather, BAKKA, and Ruby Jones Jewellery. These pieces reflect the craftsmanship and innovation within Scotland’s artisanal sector.
Specialty Food and Drink Showcase
A dedicated section of the event will focus on specialty food and drink, where regional producers from areas like Orkney, Argyll, and Angus will exhibit their finest products. New food and drink companies, such as Sour Power Vinegars and Bealach Gin, will also make their debut.
Attendees can expect to sample a wide array of local food and beverages, including offerings from Stewart Tower Dairy, Gin Bothy, and Walkers Shortbread.
Educational and Networking Opportunities
The trade show will not only be a marketplace but also a hub for learning. Retail professionals can attend panel discussions on sustainability, trends in Scottish tourism, and insights into the evolving retail landscape. Practical masterclasses will cover all aspects of retailing, helping businesses enhance their operations.
Award Ceremony and Product Launches
A new format for the Best Product Awards will add excitement to the event. Winners will be displayed centrally within the show, and the ceremony will take place at the end of the first day, providing recognition to standout exhibitors.
Mark Saunders, the show director, emphasized the significance of the event for retailers: “This is the place to discover products that will increase sales and stay ahead in the competitive gift, wellness, and fine food markets.”
