PORTMEIRION GROUP PLC

New 'Kit Kemp for Spode range' recognised by Homes & Gardens Design Awards
and Bloomingdales department stores exposure

 

Portmeirion Group PLC, the owner, designer, manufacturer and omni-channel
retailer of leading homeware brands in global markets, provides an update on
product and marketing initiatives within its key US market.

New York Tabletop Show

Last week Portmeirion Group was pleased to welcome many of its North American
customers to its permanent showroom on Madison Avenue for the New York
Tabletop Show. This provided a great opportunity to introduce US retailers to
our latest product launches and innovations. Feedback from customers during
the event was extremely positive, generating opportunities for new listings
and distribution for 2024.

Kit Kemp for Spode - 'Highly commended'

We are delighted to report that one of our most recent tableware and giftware
launches - 'Kit Kemp for Spode' (our collaboration between our Spode brand and
acclaimed British Interior Designer, Kit Kemp), has just been recognised and
accredited in the recent 2023 Homes & Gardens Design Awards within the
Best Home Accessory category. This commendation is testament to the strength
of our product development and design teams who continue to develop new
products and ranges desired by customers all over the world.

Bloomingdales Christmas window

The Kit Kemp for Spode range is also due to be featured in one of the windows
at Bloomingdale's flagship department store on 59(th) Street, New York City,
one of the city's most iconic shopping venues during December's key holiday
period.

Mike Raybould, Chief Executive said: "It is fantastic to see our new products
being recognised by the Homes & Gardens Design Awards, helping to further
drive brand awareness around the world. Christmas is a key trading period for
the Group and we look forward to the exposure that the new Bloomingdales
display will bring to this new range and our Spode brand in general. Our
exciting new range can be seen at www.spode.co.uk/kit-kemp
