On Friday 16th April the Giftware Association launched the inaugural Gift Stop, an informal drop in and drop out forum for any one in the home and gift industry designed as a place to ask those burning questions that are keeping our industry awake at night. The event was live streamed but you can re-watch it on our Facebook channel here or by clicking the image below;

The experts who joined The GA in The Gifts Stops first week were, HR Guru Karen Kirby from Greenshoot HR, Michael Weedon from EXP2 and High Street champion, Craig De Souza founder and CEO of The Creative Industries Association and Therese Oertenblad from The Small Business Collaborative.

• Small Business advice
• the reopening of shops and trade shows including trends
