As headline sponsor for the second year in succession, Matt Bidwell, Head of Marketing at Emap Connect, added: “We are delighted to be headline sponsor of The Licensing Awards 2011 - as the premier retail trade event in the UK, Spring Fair International incorporates the largest showcase of licensed product in this country and this underscores the ever-increasing importance of licensing to the gift industry. Each sector of the show - which covers gift, home, greetings, toys, fashion accessories, wellbeing, partyware, festive items, souvenirs, collectibles, jewellery, art, kitchen, dining and housewares – is intrinsically linked to the licensing sector and offers brand owners and representatives alike an unrivalled opportunity to meet a large and diverse range of existing and potential licensees.”
