The whole team at Noble Futures is back in the office, feeling energised and inspired after a brilliant few days at PATS 2024. A huge thank you to everyone who popped by our stand for a chat, took a break in the Exhibitor Lounge, or spoke with us about your career and hiring needs!

It was an absolute pleasure catching up with familiar faces and meeting so many new ones. The passion and enthusiasm for the pet industry was truly infectious, and we’re already looking forward to next year!

Here’s a little peek at what we got up to during our three days at PATS:

• ☕ Coffees Galore! We kept the show running smoothly with over 1,400 cups of coffee! (And that’s not including all the tea and hot chocolate we brewed up.) ☕
• 🍶 Staying Hydrated in Style: Over 400 of you lovely people snagged a limited edition Noble Futures reusable water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the event. We’re big fans of sustainability, so it was wonderful to see so many people embracing the eco-friendly reusable bottle spirit! 🍶
• 🍾 Pop the Cork! A massive congratulations to Jack Sheldon, the lucky winner of our magnum of Moët & Chandon champagne! We had over 185 entries for the draw, so well done to Jack 🍾
• 🏆 Celebrating the Best in the Business: We were delighted to sponsor two prestigious PetQuip Awards this year: “Rising Star” and “Employee of the Year.”
  • A huge well done to all the nominees and winners, especially our Gold Award winners:
    • Rising Star: Clara Hewson of The Muzzle Movement – a truly deserving winner!
    • Employee of the Year: A fantastic joint win for Charmain Cane from We.pet Independent Wholesale and Michelle Williams from Associated Veterinary Services. 🏆

We’re especially thrilled for Clara Hewson, who, on top of her “Rising Star” award, will also receive a £1,500 professional bursary from Noble Futures to help her flourish in her career. We can’t wait to see what amazing things she accomplishes!

PATS 2024 was more than just a trade show for us; it was a chance to connect with the so many leaders, pioneers and growers of the pet industry. We had many inspiring conversations, discussing the latest trends, challenges, and opportunities within this vibrant sector.

A huge thank you to the organisers at PATS for putting on such a fantastic event, and to all the wonderful exhibitors who made the show so memorable. We’re already counting down the days to PATS 2025!
