Sirius Buying Group, major buying group of electrical appliance and kitchen retail solutions provide new prospects for Approved Members following its 2025 Annual Trade Show on Wednesday 17th September 2025 at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes.

Equipping Sirius Members with the latest market trends, product information, and prime opportunity to engage with Approved Suppliers, this year’s Trade Show delivered a highly engaging business environment as Members explored the variety of stands and brand exclusives from the best in the industry.
