Ducky Zebra is one of 12 businesses selected to win a stand at this year’s Spring Fair on 4-7 February at the NEC, Birmingham. The competition was run by Dragons Den’s Theo Pathitis in partnership with Spring & Autumn Fair.

In 2021, Ducky Zebra won Theo Pathitis’ Small Business Sunday Award. Pathitis is the founder of Small Business Sunday (SBS), which is a community of small businesses and entrepreneurs. Winning the award gave the brand access to the community and opened up an array of opportunities, from additional training and support to entering competitions such as this one.

Sally Dear, CEO and founder of Ducky Zebra, highly recommends other small businesses entering the award. “If you are an entrepreneur or run a small business, we would absolutely recommend entering Small Business Sunday. Each week, Theo Pathitis welcomes six new winners to the community. We’ve gained so much through this network, including fantastic training and advice.”

 

 

As well as winning a stand at Spring Fair, Ducky Zebra is also one of three finalists to ‘Pitch Live’ their products on stage to a panel of judges during the exhibition.

Ducky Zebra creates fun, sustainable kids’ clothes, which are free from stereotypes. Recently turning two years old, the brand has enjoyed steady growth since its launch, including picking up 21 new stockists during 2023.

“Building partnerships with independent stores which share our values and commitment to sustainable gifting has been key to our wholesale success,” adds Dear. “We are excited to continue our growth in 2024, allowing us to bring Ducky Zebra to new areas and regions in the UK and beyond.”

Alongside Spring Fair, buyers can also view Ducky Zebra’s collection at INDX Kids on 28-29 January. For further information and wholesale enquiries, please contact hello@duckyzebra.com. Alternatively, click here to visit the brand’s website.
