The stand is packed away. The feet hurt. The voice has nearly gone.
That’s a wrap on The PetFellas first ever PATS, and what an incredible experience it has been.
Twelve months ago this business existed only as an idea. This week we stood alongside some of the industry's biggest names, showcasing exciting brands, meeting fantastic customers and discussing opportunities that have the potential to shape our future.
To everyone who visited us, offered advice, shared encouragement or simply stopped for a chat, thank you.
Thanks to The PetFellas team for doing such a great job and working your asses off. You were brilliant and inspiring.
Starting a business is challenging, but the pet industry continues to prove why it's such a special community to be part of.
A special thank you to our brand partners who travels from all parts of the world (Australia, South Africa, Ireland, Belgium, Brazil, Germany…Nottingham!), it was brilliant to have you with us at the show.
And of course thank you to our customers existing and new as well as our friends and family for their support.
Building a business is never a solo effort.
We're leaving the NEC tired, inspired and more determined than ever about what comes next.
This may have been our first PATS, but it certainly won't be our last.
Here's to the next chapter for The PetFellas pack.
