Pukka Pads were proud to once again exhibit at the annual Spicers 'Everything For The Office Show' 2012 which took place at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry this month.
As expected the event was very popular bringing over 1100 dealers, manufacturers and suppliers together to discuss the latest opportunities and challenges in the office product market. We were delighted with the amount of positive interest the Pukka Pads stand received, our City range in particular was very popular.
"I thought the show was excellent from start to finish… we had the opportunity to network and discuss new products with a host of dealers from all over the UK."
Garry Wright (National Account Manager, Pukka Pads)

We have always been very proud of the marketing support we provide for our retail customers at Pukka.
So when Paul Ridge from the Students' Union Shop at the University of Southampton got in touch with a great idea for increased brand awareness in his shop, we were more than happy to help.
Paul (shown in image) asked us if we could Pukka-up his ceiling. An unusual approach to brand awareness but we hope you will agree that it does look good and is also quite Pukka. We love it and would like to say a big THANK YOU to Paul for his forward thinking approach to sales and his continued support for Pukka Pads.
Pukka Pads enjoy an excellent relationship with universities across the UK and the Students' Union Shop at the University of Southampton in particular has one of the best selections of Pukka Pads available on the south coast.
If you would like us to give your shop or stationery section the Pukka treatment, then please get in touch.
We are always happy to help and will do our very best to accommodate any request.
"Pukka Pads really are a lot more than just a supplier, their retail support for small businesses is awesome!" Paul Ridge - Students' Union Shop, Southampton
Pukka Pads were delighted to exhibit at the second annual Office* Show this month.
This was our first time at Office* and we were very pleased to be involved.
The show which is based at Earls Court, London and is aimed at PAs, EAs and Office Managers was a great success. We welcomed the chance to promote the Pukka brand to existing and potential customers and we appreciated the chance to gather invaluable feedback on our products and services directly from end consumers and buyers alike.
The Office* Show is unlike any other show. Their original approach and detailed planning created an excellent environment for business and we thought that the launch of the National PA Day to coincide with the show was a fantastic idea.

Glenn Bowen, a UK Account Manager who joined Pukka Pads earlier this year, has just completed his first London Marathon. Glenn's time to complete the 26.2 mile circuit was an impressive 4 hours, 17 minutes and 5 seconds.
This was Glenn's first marathon but hopefully not his last. By completing the course Glenn has raised over £1,300 for his chosen charity, Children with Leukaemia.
Pukka would like to join Glenn in saying a big THANK YOU to everyone who supported Glenn with your kind donations.
Congratulations Glenn!
