\"DayGrand Designs Live \u2013 bursts into London every spring turning the Excel Exhibition Centre into a Grand designer\u2019s oasis of ideas and inspiration.<\/p>\n

This nine day event is one of UK\u2019s primary exhibitions for designers and self builders. All of which are looking for new products, services and ideas.<\/p>\n

Final Day<\/h4>\n

Day 9 and the final day of this truly amazing show saw record high numbers of visitors and a splendid turn out.<\/p>\n

From opening it was clear that the final day was going to be a big one. Brochures and freebies were flying off the brick slips stand and the buzz was running high.<\/p>\n

The enthusiasm for promoting our products beamed from the brick slips stand like the strongest of rainbows. Every member of the team did a fantastic job of dealing with every enquiry.<\/p>\n

As always, sample orders were at an all-time high and demand was very strong from the moment the doors opened.<\/p>\n

Star product of the week!<\/h4>\n

The star product for us at the show was our London Weathered Yellow brick slips, with demand and requirements for this product running very high.<\/p>\n

As a top selling product this is always available and with quick lead times we are looking forward to all our new customers receiving their orders very soon.<\/p>\n

The Show<\/h4>\n

If you haven\u2019t been to the show before then you most certainly need to pencil it into your diary for next year.<\/p>\n

The organisers of this years show really did pull out all the stops in making the show the great success it was.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The layout was easy to navigate and very well organised, with a central hub and four main paths.<\/p>\n

The four large dedicated areas focused on Build, Garden, Interior and Kitchen and Bathrooms. Such a rich and varied selection of companies meant for a fantastic experience from the show attendees.<\/p>\n

Each of the areas had a diverse selection of industry experts on hand to give talks, advice and tips.<\/p>\n

Being an environmentally conscious business, the brick slips team found it refreshing to see so many exhibitors using sustainable materials and products. Using recycled and environmentally friendly materials is such a hot topic and one that streams from stand to stand.<\/p>\n

Meet the Grand Designers<\/h4>\n

The past 9 days has been a hive of amazing intellect, experience and knowledge. A large proportion of this valuable wealth of free information came from the past and present Grand Designers.<\/p>\n

The TV show that lends its name to this great exhibition has had the pleasure of showcasing some of the biggest and most adventurous Grand designs ever attempted.<\/p>\n

\"Meet
\nEvery day the grand theatre played host to guest discussions with some of the most memorable Grand designers. The brick slips team really looked forward to the daily discussions.<\/p>\n

One way to avoid pitfalls is to learn from others mistakes, this was a great feature of the show and one that had people talking every day.<\/p>\n

Summary<\/h4>\n

From all at BrickSlips we would like to wish the organisers and the good people of the Excel Exhibition centre a big thanks. The level of professionalism received was commendable.<\/p>\n

The exhibition for us was a glorious success and we look forward to what next year will bring.<\/p>\n
