Managing Director at Sirius, Steve Jones commented: “We are delighted to say our doors will open once again with the full support of everyone in the group to go ahead with a physical Trade Show next month.

“We look forward to welcoming our new and established members to come together in an informal, COVID-secure venue to explore the latest exclusive deals and series of product launches by our market-leading Approved Suppliers.

“The group has been hugely focussed on supporting its members since before the pandemic, assisting with guidance and best practices through the pandemic along with dedicated supplier meetings via Zoom each month becoming standard fare, so it will be great to continue these conversations safely in person.

“I am so proud of the community we continue to grow and build on, with 183 members and over 250 retail outlets ready to do business and safeguard their future.”

All Sirius members can attend the Sirius AGM on Tuesday 21st September, where they will review the previous year, current year-to-date performance and also have the opportunity to look ahead to developments to be launched this year, as well as 2022.

The leadership team will present the latest trends and results so its members can make well-informed decisions for the short, medium and long term, along with a preview of what’s on offer the following day.

At the Trade Show, suppliers will showcase new products for 2022 with exclusive deals for Sirius Members.

General manager at Sirius Mark Veysey said: “We are seeing consistent growth in tailored and personalised kitchen living spaces, indicating that introducing a kitchen arm to your business can be a lucrative way to build your company’s expertise and grow your local reach.

“As the UK property market is set to experience strong growth in the year ahead, we can anticipate a continued focus on home improvements from homeowners, developers and local authorities, with specialist independent retailers able to capitalise on this sustained level of interest.

“With this in mind we stand ready to support our members wherever they are in their business evolution, so they can keep growing financially and in reputation.”

He added: “We have all seen the importance of harnessing the latest technology to stay connected with our network of customers and given the growing Sirius community over the past 18 months, we will continue to dedicate time to exploring how increasing your online presence can and will, capture new customers while giving an instant overview of the level of service and expertise our members can provide.”
