Final Call For Leicester Made & Regions Exhibitors – 24th April

With just eight days until Leicester Made & Regions opens its doors on 24th April, the message to UK manufacturers and suppliers is clear: this is your moment to be seen, to connect and to grow.

Following the resounding success of last year’s event, exhibitor demand is high and with only a limited number of spaces remaining, now is the time to secure your place alongside some of the UK’s most forward-thinking fashion and textile businesses.

This year’s exhibitor line-up is already shaping up to be one of the strongest yet, featuring companies including Courtney & Co, Silver Birches, AVINCI, Denovo, and Maeknit, each representing the innovation, craftsmanship and entrepreneurial spirit that define UK manufacturing today.

Why Exhibit at Leicester Made & Regions?

Last year proved that this is not just another industry event – it’s a platform that delivers real commercial value.

Exhibitors consistently reported:

• High-quality visitors from across the UK
• Meaningful conversations with brands and buyers
• Ongoing business opportunities beyond the event

Josie Pearson, Co-Founder of Motherlight, described the response as “overwhelming,” with multiple follow-up meetings secured with brands after the event. Andrea Courtney of Courtney & Co highlighted the “very good connections” made, reinforcing the event’s ability to open doors and expand networks.

A Growing, Engaged Audience

Leicester Made & Regions attracts a diverse and influential audience – from established retailers and emerging brands to policymakers and sustainability leaders.

As Peter Chandler of Leicester City Council reflected, last year’s event delivered “a very impressive attendance” and, crucially, a tone that was “forward looking and positive.”

That energy translates directly into opportunity for exhibitors.

Be Part of the UK Manufacturing Movement

Leicester is firmly back in the spotlight as a hub for textile and garment production. Liz Kendall, MP for Leicester West, described the sector as “the heart and soul of our community,” highlighting its national and international impact.

Exhibiting at Leicester Made & Regions places your business at the centre of that narrative, connecting you with:

• Brands actively seeking UK production partners
• Industry leaders driving reshoring and sustainability
• Decision-makers shaping the future of the sector

As industry voices at last year’s event made clear, the mission is collective: to rebuild and strengthen the UK’s fashion and textile industry.

Stronger Supply Chains Start Here

In a time of global uncertainty and supply chain disruption, sourcing closer to home is no longer a preference – it’s a priority.

Leicester Made & Regions offers exhibitors the chance to position themselves as part of the solution:

• Shorter, more sustainable supply chains
• Transparent, ethical production
• Blended sourcing
• Agile, responsive manufacturing capabilities

An Event That Drives Momentum

From innovation and sustainability to digital transformation and responsible sourcing, this year’s event will once again bring together leading voices from across the industry.

But what truly sets Leicester Made & Regions apart is its atmosphere, described by past attendees as “energetic, buzzy, and positive,” and filled with a shared determination to move the industry forward.

Secure Your Stand – Before It’s Gone

With a strong exhibitor line-up already confirmed and only a handful of spaces remaining, this is your chance to be part of something bigger.
