Read the April 2019 issue of Progressive Party Europe

The April issue of Progressive Party Europe is available to read now, packed full of great content including in-depth supplier interviews, industry news and opinions, product updates and much more.

The first few months of the year are always a busy time for the party industry, with Trade Show Season taking up much of our attention – and whether you went to all three shows or kept up with the gossip from the comfort of your own front room, there was a lot going on and enough new product to keep everyone happy. Of course, in the first issue back after all the excitement we’ve picked people’s brains to find out how the shows went for them – and whether they’ll be back next year.

While all this has been going on, there has also been a great deal of discussion in the news about sustainability, eco-friendly products and reducing single-use plastic wherever possible. The issue itself has been the subject of much discussion and some heated opinions, so check out our industry issue feature, and do get in touch to let us know what you think. It’s an important issue and one that could ultimately affect most of us in one way or another, so it’s essential we as an industry keep talking.

If that is all a bit serious for you, we’ve also included a fantastic interview with Pioneer Europe as well as features on balloon décor trends, festival dress-up, children’s parties and of course all our usual new product information and news.

As ever, please drop us a line with any news, views or anything else you’d like us to look at in the future. Enjoy!
