Get ready for a major opportunity! BHETA is thrilled to announce a dedicated Meet the Buyer event with Decco - one of the UK’s top wholesalers to the home, DIY and small electrical appliances sectors.

Taking place on Thursday, 18th September 2025 in Birmingham, this event offers suppliers the rare chance to pitch directly to Decco’s national buying team, who is actively on the lookout for fresh products, strong commercial proposals, and new supplier partnerships that can deliver real value and scalable growth. If you’re ready to get serious about doing business, this is the room you want to be in.

A full list of product categories is detailed below:

• Cookware & Bakeware
• Food Prep
• Kitchen Textiles
• Storage
• Tableware
• Utility
• Small electricals – kitchen/linencare/floorcare to heating & cooling (excl. personal care)
• Decorating (DIY)
• Tools (DIY)
• Security
• Fixings
• Electrical Accessories (DIY)
• Lightside DIY

How to prepare:
During the day, Decco will be particularly interested in discussing the following key areas:

• What is your Current Route to Market and how can Decco add value to this
• What are the Margin Opportunities for Decco
• How will you support the product with Promotional Activity
• Details of new product developments – What makes you different
• How can you provide Decco’s teams with the tools to sell your product
• Existing UK Distribution (if relevant)

At this stage, Decco will be prioritising commercially viable proposals that demonstrate logistical feasibility and strong financial justification, rather than detailed presentations on brand marketing strategies.

Useful information:

• Each supplier can bring two people and will be allocated a 20-minute appointment with their relevant buyer. More appointments with additional buyers may be allocated if a supplier has products relevant for multiple categories.
• It is recommended that you arrive at the venue 10 minutes prior to your allocated appointment.
• All registrations are subject to approval by Decco. Your appointment will be confirmed by the BHETA team.

• In the event of over-subscription, BHETA member places will be allocated on a first come first served basis per buyer.
• Participation in BHETA’s ‘Meet the Buyer’ events is solely for UK suppliers, manufacturers and distributor.
• Cancellations will only be refunded if 48 hours notice prior to the event has been received.
