We also review some of the key product launches across all housewares categories that made a big impact this year in The 2019 Hot List – and we reveal which product and supplier tops our annual Best of Best Sellers 2019 league.

In our Talking Trade section, industry commentator Michael Weedon, managing director of exp2, ponders Christmases past, present and future; Will Jones, chief operating officer of BHETA, discusses the political and economic climate; and Roger Lownsbrough, director of Anvil Business Advisory, shares tips on managing cashflow.
PLUS: we find out more about the launch of an experimental ‘customer-centric’ concept shop from John Lewis & Waitrose and hear the views of Sarah Wood, joint managing director of Trevor Mottram, on the festive season.
