The Off-Price Show, the industry stock buying event, attracted a 21% increase in buyers over the days of the show at Olympia in London this week (14^th-15^th March), compared to last year.

There was an upbeat mood amongst both buyers and exhibitors, pointing to a hopeful season. Exhibitors reported meeting more overseas buyers than ever before, and strong order-taking was the principal activity of the show.

The show attracted a record number of international buyers with 22% of the total visitor numbers coming from over 35 overseas countries including Poland, Czech Republic, South Africa, Ireland, Cyprus, Germany, Russia, Morocco, Libya, Spain, Sweden, Norway, France, Austria, Lithuania, Greece, USA, Canada, Ukraine and Italy.

Robbie Bull from Trespass said, Trespass had a very good response at this year's
Off-Price Show. We saw a great mix of buyers from both the UK and abroad. We were very pleased with the level of orders we wrote onsite and we picked up some very exciting new business particularly from central and eastern Europe. The event was very well organised and we look forward to returning to the show in the near future.

Ronald Hochhauser from Q Clothing added: Our best ever Off-Price Show - we were overwhelmed by this year's event. Footfall was excellent on both days and our stand was busy all the time. We brought an extensive range of men's, ladies and children's wear, and had buyers from UK, Europe and Africa queuing up to see our latest offerings. We wrote lots of orders and now have tons of work on our hands to follow up all the new enquiries. Once again the show organisers were flawless and the whole experience was as hassle free as we could have hoped for. We cannot wait for the next show.

Event Director, Buzz Carter, commented, We are over the moon about the quantity and quality of visitors at this March show. The Off-Price Show proves once again it really is the only horse in town when it comes to fashion stock buying.

The next Off-Price Show takes place in Warsaw on the 22^nd -23^rd June 2010 and the next London event is on 26^th-27^th September 2010.
