Karen ClarkeWe’ve had good footfall to the stand throughout the show, and picked up some new customers as referrals from other Members which is a bonus.
Smart Toys and Games
Mike BirdWe were really pleased to come back to the show. We got to spend some quality time with our existing Members and had many new customers come to visit the stand so overall a very worthwhile show!

Amanda ChaplinThe Toymaster show is something we really look forward to and this year didn’t disappoint. It’s wonderful to meet so many of our loyal independent customers and write orders together after showcasing our new lines. It’s such a fabulous community to be a part of. Thank you for the much needed umbrellas too!
