PATS 2024 set for biggest ever gathering of pet industry
PATS 2024 will see the biggest-ever gathering of pet professionals when it opens its doors to visitors in just under three months’ time.
So far, 331 companies, supplying pet food and accessories, pet grooming, aquatics, reptiles and watergardening, will be showcasing their products and services in front of what promises to be a record-breaking audience of buyers.
In 2024, PATS - the Pet & Aquatics Trade Show - takes place over three days at the Telford International Centre in Shropshire on Sunday 29th, Monday 30th September and Tuesday 1st October 2024, providing buyers with so many networking opportunities over the longer three-day period.
“The response to PATS 2024 as an all-encompassing three-day exhibition has been fantastic,” said organiser Gordon Thomas. “The UK’s major pet and aquatics companies have booked their space, with many of them taking larger stands, alongside a growing number of start-up businesses and international exhibitors.
“PATS prides itself on being the place where the pet and aquatics industry meet to do business. This year’s exhibition is poised to set so many records, from the biggest number of exhibitors and visitors, to the largest-ever showcase of new products in the show’s 15 year history.
