British exhibitor group information packs now available
 Exhibitor
information packs have been sent within the past few
days to the more than 60 firms which have registered
their interest in participating in the PetQuip organised
British pavilion at Interzoo 2010.
British firms which are considering taking part in
next year’s event but have not yet contacted
PetQuip are urged to do so soon to avoid disappointment.
PetQuip has secured grant funding for Interzoo 2010
under UK Trade & Investment’s Tradeshow
Access Programme (TAP)
The TAP scheme allows eligible small to medium sized
companies that are ‘New to Export’ (which
means roughly, less than 25 per cent of turnover being
export related) - or have been exporting for less
than 10 years - to receive cash grants at the minimum
rate of £1,000 (subject to a minimum stand of
4sq m or expenditure on stand costs of £1,000
or more).
The rules for TAP have recently changed and all history
of grants before 1 April 2009 wiped clean. Therefore,
firms which had previously used their allocation of
funded places at trade shows may now be eligible again.
All SMEs that fulfil the criteria for the current
TAP scheme will now be eligible for funding on six
occasions worldwide, provided the events at which
they receive funding are held in at least two markets
– Interzoo and Zoomark for example.
PetQuip has also secured additional grant funding
from this year’s Tradeshow Access Programme
for the USA’s Global Pet Expo
 Global
Pet Expo, which claims to be the pet industry’s
largest annual trade show, is staged by the American
Pet Products Association and Pet Industry Distributors
Association. The 2009 show had 779 exhibitors and
attracted more than 4,100 pet care product buyers
from around the world.
Global Pet Expo 2010 takes place
on 25-27 March in Orlando, Florida.
Global Pet Expo is open to independent retailers,
distributors, mass-market buyers, and other qualified
professionals. The show is not open to the public.
