PATS 2025 is attracting an increasing number of new companies eager to showcase their product ranges to a bigger and wider audience of UK and international buyers.
The Pet & Aquatics Trade Show takes place at its new home – Hall 1 of the NEC Birmingham – over three days from Sunday, September 28, to Tuesday, September 30, and already more than 300 exhibitors have confirmed stand space.
With six months still to go before the exhibition, an impressive list of leading companies has committed to the show, along with businesses exhibiting at a PATS event for the first time.
Organisers said that almost all of the stand space in the New Starter Zone has already been booked by more than 33 exhibitors showcasing exciting new products, including Abbey England, Akela Pet Foods, Artemis, By Teddy, EzyWalkies, Hetty and Huxley, Tails & Bloom, and Woof and Snout.
Jamie Sutherland, director at Woof and Snout, summed up the mood of the New Starter Zone exhibitors. “Woof and Snout cannot wait to exhibit at our first-ever PATS show in 2025. Having the opportunity to showcase our dog apparel and grooming products to trade customers is something we are hugely excited about. Preparations are underway and we look forward to seeing you there.”
Hetty and Huxley is also excited to be exhibiting at PATS for the first time.
Founder Meg Simkiss said: “It’s such a big event and we’re really looking forward to meeting lots of potential new customers, saying a big hello to existing ones and showing off our bright and colourful products in a wonderful space.”
EzyWalkies will be launching a world-first Zip2Lead Bag at the show.
Director Nick Wake explained: “This patented innovation features two bags in one that zip onto your lead – one for poop bags and another for treats – making dog walks easier and more convenient while promoting responsible pet ownership. Visitors to PATS will be able to see it in action.”
PATS 2025 is also being staged alongside BETA International, the leading equestrian trade show taking place in Hall 2 at the NEC. It means that retailers and buyers will be able to visit both shows, and to make things simple visitors will only have to register once, with BETA International visitors being given access to PATS and vice versa.
