The BHETA team would like to thank the John Lewis Utility and Cookshop buying teams, and twenty eight of our members, who attended a successful Meet the Buyer day on Thursday 2nd May in Watford.
BHETA were delighted to organise and facilitate the day to give our members the opportunity to meet and pitch their brands to the John Lewis team, and for John Lewis to have a focused day of potential new supplier meetings.
Seema Grantham, Sector Manager for Housewares & Small Electrical said: “BHETA’s Meet the Buyer days are always a highlight of my role, meeting up with many of our members and giving them potential new opportunities. This event went very well and I’d like to thank Lisa Rutherford and the team for taking part.”
Will Jones, BHETA Chief Operating Officer, said: “Meet the Buyer days are something that BHETA has pioneered for a number of years. They are always popular with members and retailers benefit from the opportunity to have a day of potential new supplier meetings organised for them. If any retailer or merchant in the home sector feels the time is right for BHETA to organise a Meet the Buyer day for them then please get in touch. Thank you to Seema, Sam and Sally from BHETA for organising the event.”
If anybody has any queries about BHETA or our Meet the Buyer days please email Sam Astle, sa@bheta.co.uk, from the BHETA Member Services team.
