Creative businesses showcased in London

Some of Lancashire's best creative businesses will be showcasing their work in the capital thanks to Lancashire County Council.

The Lancashire showcase at BoB London has been arranged by the county council's Creative Lancashire service, following the success of the BoB North weekend, which was held in Lancashire in May.

Taking place in Shoreditch from Friday 26 June to Sunday 28 June, BoB London will breathe new life into the Nicholls and Clarke Building by creating a unique pop-up department store experience.

Creative Lancashire are working with the BoB organisers and Virgin Trains to create a package of support to help with the costs for these Lancashire businesses to exhibit. Transport for exhibitors to and from London for the exhibition has been kindly provided by Virgin Trains.

"The eclectic nature of BoB makes it a good fit for these businesses. It will open up opportunities in new markets and they'll gain confidence to take their product to new markets, as well as essential market research and insight, by talking direct to customers and other businesses."

The Lancashire exhibitors include: Deni-Deni (leather accessories) Sophie Alice Hirsch (jewellery), Swarm Design (textiles and lighting), Dan Marc (furniture) and Carradice (cycle bags & accessories) who will be presenting their new UPSO bag collection, which they launched at the Preston event.
