You all know I have attended and held several events at Parallel Venues Fetcham Park. This week I am visiting my fabulous ‘second home’ several times.
Today I am off to a meeting set up in the wake of the Designer Wedding Show’s demise to meet the new owner and have a general state of the nation forum with the great, good and genius of the wedding industry.
Several factors impacting on bridal retail abound. From the rumoured arrival in the UK of David’s Bridal a behemoth of a US chain of bridal retail stores to the undercutting and supply to TK Maxx by some of the UK’s longest established bridal & accessory brands. This week misinformation and ignorance has crept back in to some wedding blogs whilst others have demonstrated their fine and loyal support to British design and retail.
Another one of my competitors has announced it’s closure – another one of the ‘good guys.’
Fetcham Park, run by Laura Caudery, a relative new kid on the block, has shown what can be achieved by verve, flair and enthusiasm backed up by a solid business background. Laura has taught me much about the fabulousness of collaborations and building cross-discipline partnerships. Today will be another learning curve – I will report back!
More excitingly though brides-to-be (to whom a trade meeting must look as exciting a widget conference) what are we doing at Fetcham Park for you???
