Visitor numbers were up 40% on the previous year, with many exhibitors and visitors agreeing that it was one of the busiest shows in recent years.

"It's an opportunity to both reconnect and expand our network while proudly showing off our most recent designs. As always we have been working on new products to unveil at the show and can't wait to share it all in May."
