A whole host of leading greeting card retailers and overseas distributors proved they really are at the ‘cutting edge’ of the industry this morning, as they participated in the Opening Ceremony of Progressive Greetings Live 2018 this morning (June 5).
As this is the 10th anniversary show, just prior to the official ribbon being cut, John Simson, co-owner of Melbourne-based Simson Cards and Timothy Melgund, deputy chairman of Paperchase both gave a speech in which they paid tribute to the impact the exhibition has made to the industry.
“On behalf of all the international visitors, thank you for having the courage for making PG Live happen – here we are 10 years later and your contribution to the whole global industry is very much appreciated,” said John Simson.
Paperchase’s Timothy Melgund echoed John’s views, while also paying tribute to the “enormous creativity within the greeting card industry” as evidenced and celebrated by the exhibitors at PG Live. “This show and the industry just keeps getting better and better,” he said.
Retail buyers are most welcome to attend PG Live today and tomorrow (June 5 and 6) and can register online or by phone on 01635 297070.
