More NEWS from Ethnic Exhibitions Ltd

They're fun, they're funky, they're fantastic AND they're business - they're CHIC!

We are delighted to announce our new programme of shows for 2006. As many of you will know we have been researching the UK accessories market over the past 6 months and those exhibitions that serve this particular market which we see as a growth sector for us all. As a result we have introduced a new 'family' of shows to the programme. These will come under the banner name of 'Ethnic Chic', be fun, be stylish and be funky and will generally take place in the smaller cities of the UK. Our first year sees us taking the show to Brighton, Leicester and Bristol but we hope that, subject to their success we can take the show to other similarly large but smaller cities across the UK such as Manchester, Newcastle and Edingburgh and who knows where.

Of course the Village handicraft and jewellery shows shows we run alongside the big Destinations travel and tourism show in London and Birmingham will continue to take place and grow but we see this move to develop a new breed of smaller out-of-town show as a key strategy for Ethnic Exhibitions and its exhibitors. We say "it's time to take the show to the people and not expect the people to always come to the show."

We hope very much you will join with us on this exciting venture.
