This year, TFWA World Exhibition sees a very special anniversary for Scorpio Worldwide. The Inflight Distributor is celebrating its 20th anniversary in the travel retail channel – a major feat for any company, let alone one that has had to deal with challenges and tribulations of this specialised industry.
Stuart McGuire, CEO, Scorpio Worldwide, comments, “I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate our 20th anniversary than being surrounded by our suppliers and customers in Cannes. We always aim to build strong partnerships and long term understandings with our supplier and customers, so that we can address challenges and opportunities together. We can honestly say that we have a lot of strong friendships amongst them, and we are thrilled to celebrate this special moment with them all.”
This year sees Scorpio bring two high-street names to the famous Cannes Croisette: Ted Baker and Guess.
“High-street names are vital to succeed in this ever-more competitive channel. With millennials looking for brands that they recognise, and the Asian markets’ continued demand for western, high-fashion products, introducing brands like Ted Baker and Guess are essential if we are to remain competitive in this channel,” adds McGuire.
Scorpio Worldwide is pleased to announce a fantastic selection of Ted Baker, Travel Retail Exclusive watches for him and her. The ladies’ watches offer interchangeable straps and signature Ted Baker design features making them fun, stylish and versatile. Fairing just as well, the mens’ range features textured dials and designs typical of the famous Ted Baker colour schemes.
