PATS Telford has broken all records with the number of visitors attending the two-day show breaking the 2 000 mark for the first time in the event's seven-year history. A total of 2 036 visitors attended, which was 6 per cent higher than PATS Harrogate last year. Retailers from both the UK and overseas filled the venue to create a surge of activity over two days of business.
Mainland Europe was well represented and there were also visitors from Australia, South Africa, Saudi Arabia and Japan. The number of overseas visitors has elevated the show on an international scale, and one of the busiest areas at the show was the International Buyers' Lounge hosted by PetQuip.
The next PATS takes place in Sandown on 22-23 March 2016.
