The number of visitors attending the two-day PATS Telford show has broken the 2,000 mark for a fifth successive year.

A total of 2,103 visitors went through the doors at the impressive Telford International Centre, an increase of 2.7% on last year and one of the highest PATS attendance figures on record.

Organiser Gordon Thomas said many of the companies exhibiting at PATS Telford were eager to point out the quality of people visiting their stands had been of the highest standard.

He said: “Exhibitors told us they met with the key decision makers and buyers, and that was good to hear because we put in place measures that ensured the right people attended.

“Overall the response to PATS Telford 2019 has been excellent and positive, and proves that the pet industry is firmly behind this show.”

• PATS Sandown in Surrey takes place on Sunday, February 9 and Monday, February 10, while PATS Telford will return on September 27-28, 2020.
