Bringing together Sirius Members and Approved Suppliers in a relaxed yet highly productive setting, the three-day event combined business, networking and collaboration through a maximised agenda.

The opening day concluded with the Welcome Dinner Drinks Reception, generously sponsored by Bluestem Group, followed by the Welcome Dinner, kindly sponsored by Haier, giving attendees the chance to reconnect at the poolside setting and set the tone for the days ahead.
DAY TWO – Centred around the Approved Supplier Presentation Day, giving Members valuable insight into the latest innovations, product developments and retail opportunities from across the group. Throughout the day, Approved Suppliers had the opportunity to showcase new ideas, discuss market trends and strengthen relationships with Members in an engaging and collaborative environment.
The day’s Business Lunch was kindly sponsored by Midea Group, before attendees came together once again for the After-Day Drinks, sponsored by JJO, offering another opportunity for informal networking and conversation.
DAY THREE – The final day of the Conference focused on dedicated 1-2-1 meetings between Members and Approved Suppliers, creating an excellent atmosphere across the venue as businesses explored new opportunities, exclusive offers and plans for the year ahead.
Designed to encourage genuine conversations and relationship building, the meetings once again proved to be a key part of the Conference, with both Members and Suppliers benefitting from valuable face-to-face time in an informal setting. Morning refreshments on day three were kindly sponsored by Eurosonic Group, followed by the Business Lunch sponsored by BSH Home Appliances and afternoon refreshments sponsored by Rangemaster.
The 2026 Sirius Annual Conference concluded with the Gala Dinner, providing the perfect opportunity to celebrate another successful event and thank everyone involved for their continued support and commitment. The final evening’s Drinks Reception and Gala Dinner were kindly sponsored by Hotpoint.
