There’s a whole host of award winners, some great sales and lots of business taking place, so let’s crack open the bubbly and raise a glass to a successful first day as it draws to a close.

Industry Awards

Innovation Awards

Innovation Awards

These leading industry awards are sponsored by our media partner and leading trade title Equestrian Trade News. Designed to reward truly inspirational and innovative products from across the equestrian, pet and country sectors, they act as the launch pad for many successful products as they are introduced to the market. Judging takes place on Sunday 19 January, with the winners announced at 5.15pm the same day at The Spotlight.

Best Stand Awards

High-quality exhibition stands are a hallmark of the show. Each one is automatically entered in the Best Stand Awards, which are judged by an independent panel. The competition features two categories – Best Large Stand (32 square metres and over) and Best Small Stand (under 32 square metres), and the winners are announced at The Spotlight at 5.15pm on Sunday 19 January.

Celebrate

Join us for free after show drinks to celebrate a busy day of business and the winners of our exciting industry awards. 

  • A visit to BETA International is a must for anyone who is serious about their business. It gives a competitive edge and is great for catching up with other retailers, too! Any retail company – no matter what size – benefits from attending and I always go home with lots of ideas for the stores and website. Comparing brands all under one roof and make buying decisions based on this is invaluable and I wouldn’t miss the trade fair for the world.

  • We have exhibited since 1995 and found BETA International to be a very good show to meet new retailers as well as existing customers. This will be our third consecutive year, as we used to exhibit biannually. We made the change because it has proved particularly beneficial for showcasing our own-brand, Elico Equestrian. We can promote a large part of our range and new additions in an open stand, giving retailers the chance to browse at leisure and provide feedback, which we find very useful in helping to develop our range further

  • BETA International was a vital element in Stierna Equestrian Sportswear's UK launch and, in each subsequent year, has been a strategic part of our programme for the growth of the brand. It is a well-organised event, attracting high-quality visitors with whom we have been able to engage and maximise the potential for sales. The support we have received from the organising team, including the official publication, ETN, has created great synergy for Stierna and continues to be an essential part of our plans for 2020 and beyond.
    Robert Kos & Helena Strömbäck, founders
    Stierna Equestrian Sportswear
  • When we exhibited at the 2019 show, it was one of our best to date, largely due to our pet range, VetSpec. Around half of all the visitors to our stand came to find out more about it. Retailers are looking for ways to evolve and grow their businesses, and diversification is a highly effective way for them to do this.”
