BCG announces 2009 Big Tour Dates

(SANEPR.com) April 13, 2009 -- Leading bathroom, kitchen and heating distributor BCG has announced the dates for its 2009 Big Tour and aims to build on the success of previous Big Tours which in 2008 visited venues across the UK.

Whether you are a retailer or a merchant, the Big Tour provides a unique opportunity to meet leading manufacturers and senior BCG staff all under one roof. The Big Tour is free to customers and will bring together the industry’s biggest names in kitchens, bathrooms and heating to a high profile regional venue near you. BCG customers will have the opportunity to talk face to face with manufacturers and suppliers and see the latest innovations and future trends in the marketplace.
This year’s Big Tour will be rolling into five venues during October. The programme kicks off at Bristol City FC’s Ashton Gate on 8 October, followed by Birmingham, London, Glasgow, and Manchester. A full list of the 2009 Big Tour schedule follows:
8 October Ashton Gate, Bristol City FC, Bristol
13 October National Motorcycle Museum, Birmingham
15 October Twickenham Stadium, London
20 October SECC, Glasgow
23 October Old Trafford (Manchester United FC), Manchester

Chris Honer, Managing Director of BCG, said: “In difficult economic times for the industry and the wider economy, we have made the strategic decision to continue with our Big Tour. This is based on previous Big Tour successes in 2007 and 2008 and our belief that we must continue to get out into the regions and continue to provide this unrivalled platform for manufacturers and customers.”
BCG’s Marketing Manager, Julie Butcher is once again looking forward to this year’s Big Tour: “Both suppliers and customers have found the Big Tour a really worthwhile experience and we aim to build on that success. The venues are again very high profile and we are very optimistic about increased footfalls for the Big Tour in 2009, especially with the cancellation of the two London shows. The Big Tour is the industry’s only exhibition event of its kind this year.”
