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.

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!

David KellyThe Toymaster show is the most important show for us, and gives a real perspective of what is happening at grassroots retail level. It is great for retailers placing orders on the spot.

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.
