The next edition of UK tradeshow Pure London will be held in February in London and will feature an entirely new section, called Retail Solutions.

Pure said the initiative is due to popular demand from the industry. Retail Solutions is meant to help attendees to improve the running of their business, both online and offline, and the aim is to grow the section into a dedicated solutions village for the July Pure London event.

At the February launch, independent retailers will get the chance to meet with retail solution providers. There will be solutions for services like online marketing, in-store technology, logistics and fulfilment, insurance and lighting. Companies taking part include SAP, HermexFX, Visualsoft, Vetigraph and Eastman Staples.

Jonathan Kinchin has been named Head of Retail Solutions at i2i Events Group and will launch and deliver the new area. He commented, “I’m looking forward to working with solution providers to help them reach fashion brands and retailers. This represents a great opportunity for suppliers to reach the independent retailers that make up 80% of the fashion/retail market, all in one place."

Pure London has been busy expanding - the company recently announced it will host the Best of British Independent Retailer Awards at the February show, and this February will also see the launch of its inaugural menswear edition.
