Sirius Buying Group will celebrate its 25th anniversary at this year’s Trade Show, taking place on 16 September 2026 at the Marshall Arena, Milton Keynes.
The buying group said this milestone event brings together Sirius’s full Membership and its network of Approved Suppliers for a single, high-value day designed to give independent retailers everything they need to plan for the months ahead.
Mark Veysey, Operations Director at Sirius Buying Group, commented: “Reaching 25 years is a huge milestone for the Group and it’s one we want to mark properly with our Members and our Approved Suppliers this September. None of this happens without the Suppliers who back us year after year – the effort going into their stands is always fantastic to see, and it’s only right that we celebrate that alongside our Members at the Gala Dinner.
“For any independent retailer thinking about what a buying group could do for their business, this is exactly the kind of day that shows what Membership is really worth.”
For attending Members, that means direct access to exclusive, event-only pricing and promotions negotiated specifically for the Trade Show; first sight of new product ranges ahead of general launch; and the valuable chance to sit down face-to-face with Approved Suppliers and having the kind of detailed product conversations that simply aren’t possible over email. It’s also a rare opportunity to step away from the day-to-day and properly plan ahead – building relationships and picking up the market intelligence that shapes buying decisions for the year to come.
Beyond the show itself, Sirius explained that the day is designed to give something back to the independent retailers who make up the Group with networking sitting at the heart of it – the chance to speak with fellow Members, reconnect with familiar faces and make new contacts across the industry, all in a setting away from the shop floor.
The 25 year milestone will be marked in style at the Group’s Gala Dinner, which it has promised to be bigger and better than ever.
Members will find a strong exhibitor line-up on the day, with confirmed brands including Haier, AEG, Hotpoint, Midea, BSH, Rangemaster, CDA, Teknix, Cookology, Portway, Eurosonic Group, Product Care Group, Bluestem Group and Montpellier among those bringing new product introductions and stand-only offers to the show floor.
Sirius added that its Approved Suppliers are investing heavily in this year’s stands, with many planning some of their “biggest reveals of the year” specifically for the event.
