“The RHS brand has great strength in multiple categories and the presence of so many licensing partners at shows like Spring Fair helps us to underline that fact,” said Cathy Snow, licensing manager at the RHS. “Home and gift is an area in which we have enjoyed a lot of success for some years and, judging by the growing number of partners at this major show every year, we will continue to do so.”
