Look Who's Talking!

Which trends should you pay attention to this buying season? What's the key to effective digital marketing? How can you make 2015 your most successful year yet? Our crack-squad of speakers have all the answers - and, this season, they'll be sharing them with you! Look who's talking at Bubble London A/W15...


1. Eve Reid, Metamorphosis.
The Visual Merchandising Year; Key Trends for 2015. Monday, 11:00 - 11.30

We always come away from Eve's seminars feeling seriously inspired - and her guide to the key visual merchandising trends of 2015 promises to be a real must-see. As the driving force behind independent retail consultancy Metamorphosis, she's worked with some of the industry's leading brands. This season, she'll share her insights with Bubble, showing you how to create a retail environment that wows customers - and compels them to buy! 

2. Henry Patterson, Not Before Tea. 
Insights from a Young Entrepreneur. Sunday, 11.30 - 12.00

Henry Patterson is no ordinary schoolboy. At just nine, he founded Not Before Tea, a unique children's brand specialising in traditional sweets, games and gifts. He's since written a book, The Adventures of Sherb and Pip, and opened his very own bricks-and-mortar store. Indeed, when he's not appearing on the One Show, chatting to Richard Branson or designing his own products, Henry can be found manning the till - with a little help from imaginary friends Mrs Pinny, Sherb the Owl and Pip the mouse, of course. This February, the remarkable young entrepreneur will share his story with Bubble. Eat your heart out, Richard!
