This year the Wool Trends Centre in Hall C is acting as a gallery for the entries into this year’s Wool Carpet & Rug Awards sponsored by the Campaign for Wool, in association with British Wool. Winners will be announced on Monday evening, 17th September, at a ceremony held in the North Corridor of the Royal Hall. The awards are designed to celebrate excellence in wool carpet and rug manufacture, so the gallery of entries in Hall C is a must-visit display to see the latest designs. The awards are now in their third year, with categories sponsored by several high-profile consumer publications. The event has proven to be a great success, helping to promote the many benefits of wool flooring to a wide and varied audience. Visit the British Wool stand on C69 to find out more about the awards and its latest retailer merchandising and point of sale offers. Not to be missed! This year the Wool Carpet Focus Group on stand C40, has agreed a fantastic promotion with market-leading brand Miele which is available to all wool carpet retailers. Backed by 200,000 leaflets – available to pick up free of charge at the show – retailers will be able to offer their customers the opportunity to receive a £100 discount off a stylish new bagless Miele vacuum cleaner when they buy a beautiful wool carpet. “This is a great offer for anyone’s shop window,” declared Martin Curtis of the Wool Carpet Focus Group. The offer is also supported by the Wool Carpet Focus Group’s fun Woolabilities point of sale messages.
