Post NZ Gift Fairs Part 2. There I much to be said that being at the trade fair aside from seeing our current, new, and potential customers/ clients is friendships with others in business in the wholesale industry.
Over the past 4 days at the gift fair, between the packing in, being at our stand and having a walk around the fair to packing out; we get the chance to catch up with some of our wonderful friends in the wholesale industry along with meeting new neighboring friends by our trade fair stand.
This is where we share experiences between us and advice.
I will also honestly say that Griff Trading will not be where we are without the friends we have in the wholesale’s industry’s support. A massive shout out to my friends that I didn’t get the opportunity to take a recent photo of with is Richie Stott from Tilly and Lindi from Queen of the Foxes (I found one from approx. 6ys ago on my camera roll of us together.)
Our friendship has stretched for quite the number of years from my time in the fashion industry and I am truly so grateful for them for all their inspiration, love, and support. 🙏🏼💕😘💓😘
Fast forward to the present, where Nicole and I have met some of the loveliest of friends of recent years who we would love to introduce to you all. We have Tamarin from The Better Tea Co. + Viv from ecovask + Carly from Becca Project.
If you haven’t met any of these wonderful ladies to do business with, please connect with them as they are all doing great things for our retail industry. 💓💕💓
We are all about supporting one another and I didn’t know what the best way of how I could introduce my friends, so I thought this was the best way to do so right after the gift fair where we have had the time to semi level up from it.
