Come on down to London’s Business Design Centre to join in two days of greeting card brilliance
And we’re off! PG Live 2023 is open with all the fabulous newness, creativity and sheer brilliance of the greeting card industry on display.
The doors opened at 9.30am this morning at the Business Design Centre for the 15th outing of the specialist greeting card trade show where everyone whose anyone in the industry is here – including Boofle and the Forever Friends bear!
And within under half an hour the first of the Retas and Greats awards 2023 finalists voucher had been spent!
Pete Whiteman, from Amore and DzoDzo in Woodbridge, headed straight for Dandelion Stationery to hand over his £50 Greats voucher to owner Jo Wilson for his latest order.
This followed the traditional opening shot on the stairs at the show where the team from organiser Max Publishing, exhibitors, and overseas distributors and retailers cut the ribbon to declare this year’s greetings extravaganza open, along with UKG’s cute pup Boofle and the Forever Friends bear from Hallmark, plus the iconic PG Live card dresses.
