Early start this morning as we headed to Telford for The Bed Show.

As the leading event showcasing a diverse range of UK and Irish bed manufacturers and component suppliers, The Bed Show brings together exhibitors from major market brands to specialised niche players. Recently, it was recognised as the 'Best Furniture Trade Show' at the Big Furniture Awards and named 'Best Furniture Exhibition' at the Interiors Monthly Awards.

The show provided a great opportunity to connect with familiar faces and engage with our media contacts in the furniture and bed industry.

Since September, we've been offering B2B PR support to Hypnos Beds, one of the leading bed brands in the UK. A few weeks on, the show proved the perfect opportunity to visit the busy stand and join their 120-year celebration of crafting exceptional sleeping solutions for customers across the globe.

Think you know the circular economy?

We're not going to ruin the experience by tipping you off on some of the amazing materials we saw, but it's worth a visit to Material Matters, part of the London Design Festival event at Bargehouse, Oxo Tower Wharf, London.
