From sports equipment to Apple iPads, The Consortium has it all at the Education Show!

March 11, 2011 - PRLog -- The Consortium has pulled out all the stops to bring you fantastic new ranges at the Education Show (NEC, Birmingham, 17-19 March).

They have completed all their new catalogues in time for the show, including Sports & Games, Furniture & Fittings and Art, Craft & Design – as well as The Big Pink Book, which contains all the great value products chosen specifically for their relevance to education! Overall there are over 4,000 new products from curriculum resources to inspire learning in the classroom, or on the sports field, to all the everyday school supplies that help the whole school run smoothly.

A selection of the new products will be available on The Consortium’s stand (F46) at the Education Show, including items from their completely updated Sports & Games range, the World Weather Map that includes fantastic animations bringing weather systems to life as well as ICT and presentation equipment such as visualisers and Apple iPads.

You’ll also be able to find out how The Consortium’s Own Brand and Value Ranges can help you save money on your everyday purchasing, plus The Consortium can give you advice and guidance on how to get more from your purchasing and get the best value across your spending.

If you are feeling up for a sporting challenge, take part in the Wii challenge and you also can enter a FREE prize draw to win £100 of sporting equipment!

If your interest leans more towards Arts, Craft & Design, you can also find out about your chance to win £1,000 worth of Display materials. The Consortium has teamed up with Creativity International to bring you their 2011 Display Competition, the perfect opportunity to showcase all the fabulous creative display work that goes on in schools. It’s easy to enter and the closing date isn’t until 1 June so you have plenty of time to perfect your masterpiece.

Jon Hickey, Head of Sales at The Consortium commented, “We’re really excited about the new ranges we are offering this year and looking forward to talking to visitors at the Education Show about the quality and value we offer across the curriculum, and in particular in our new 2011 sports range. There’ll be lots going on at our stand so whatever your specialist area, I’m sure we’ll have something that will interest you!”
