Nova Chrome have joined forces with the original 6 companies BTC, Graftiyp UK, Maderia UK, Sharon Lee, Target Transfers and Your Embroidery Services Ltd with an extended number of venues taking place between September and October 2011. The diversity of the companies is great news for visitors as, between them, they cover most aspects of garment and product supply and decoration. The timing is also good news as all of the shows take place at a time when there is little on the scene in the way of exhibitions and yet can be a key time of the year for businesses to consider new product and investment. As with the 2010 shows garment supply is represented by BTC Activewear and Sharon Lee, embroidery and print is represented by Your Embroidery Services Ltd., the transfer market is represented by Target Transfers, Cad Cut™ and print by Grafityp UK and embroidery threads and accessories by Madeira but visitors this year will also be able to see the variety of dye sublimation processes offered by Nova Chrome.

When talking about PEA6 it is important to understand the difference between this and some other past shows. John-Paul Burton (Sales Director of YES Ltd) said "As with last year's event the idea is to offer a wide variety of products and services. Road shows have, in the past, tended to concentrate on one aspect of the business but PEA6 is purposely aimed at being diverse and that will be supported even more this year with Nova Chrome coming on board". This is quite an important part of the success of the shows offering visitors the chance to look at other allied products and services in a more personal environment.

Starting on September 13th in Dublin the show will work its way around England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland finishing, 11 venues later, in Birmingham on Thursday 27th October. All of the locations have been selected with travel and convenience being the main concerns after all, its no good having a show that no-one can get to. Glenn Hyams of BTC Activewear , being one of the originators of the event is particularly excited about the prospect of meeting new and existing customers saying "PEA6 takes the key decoration equipment and clothing to the customer. All the venues have been chosen so that no one has to travel more than an hour to see 7 of the decoration Industries best and most respected suppliers. With free parking and refreshments supplied all day, what better way to find out how the Industry's leading suppliers can help you develop and grow your business and be first to see what's new in 2012. With the original 6 suppliers now joined by leading Sublimation supplier Nova Chrome and with 11 venues – an increase on 2010's already successful Road Shows – we are really looking forward to meeting existing and new customers this Autumn."

The 2012 reference is particularly important as, other than experiencing the products at PEA6, the first occasion where you can see them won't occur until the exhibition season starts again in the spring giving PEA6 visitors that 'heads up' advantage that most businesses would like.

The products on show are recognised as market leaders in the particular sector in which they operate but it is important to understand that the companies representing them at PEA6 hold the same status within the UK and European markets. The company names are ones that trip off the tongue easily being widely recognised as purveyors of good service as well as excellent product. A spokesman for new member Nova Chrome said "We jumped at the opportunity to take part in PEA6. We heard about its success last year and noted that it really forged a place for itself in the calendar. Although only in its second year it has already carved out a reputation and that can be seen with the decision to maintain the original name even though there are now seven companies. PEA6 has become a brand in its own right and one that we are proud to be associated with. A quality road show with quality companies and quality products – who wouldn't want to be part of that?"
