The directors of The Schoolwear Show Limited (TSSL), who organise the UK’s only trade exhibition dedicated solely to the independent schoolwear retailer, remain committed to supporting the sector at this critical time.

TSSL is currently working hard to provide the industry with a much-need platform to secure future business. As a result, preparations are already underway for the 2020 event, which will take place in October.

“Our 2020 show is still planned for Sunday 11 October until Tuesday 13 October 2020 at Cranmore Park, Solihull.

“This will be one of the most important events of the schoolwear industry’s year; enabling suppliers, retailers, reps and agents to get together and plan for the future.

“What the future will look like no one knows. But we have a strong industry with a reliable and resilient supplier base working alongside our many specialist retail partners who will get back to ‘service as normal’ as quickly as possible.

“At this stage, we expect that schools will go back in September. Back to School will, therefore, happen in July and August. The main suppliers are certainly working to that assumption; ensuring retailers receive great service in order to be fully stocked-up in readiness for what could be a shortened Back to School period.”
