Level 1 / 1-M22 C artwright & Butler is making its debut appearance at TFWA Asia Pacific Exhibition & Conference, highlighting its ambition to expand in the travel retail channel and introduce its distinctive premium, design-led range to new international audiences. In Singapore, Cartwright & Butler will spotlight a curated selection of its best- sellers – products that consistently drive performance across international markets and are already familiar to many travellers. A key focus will be the brand’s signature 200g Pastel biscuit tins, including the new Hazelnut & Chocolate flavour, featuring Pantone’s 2026 Colour of the Year, alongside the refreshed Shortbread Collection, now reimagined with a timeless new look featuring a beautifully designed thistle motif. Packaging remains a key differentiator for the brand, with its distinctive, design-led tins that deliver strong visual presence in-store, while supporting accessible price-points for travellers seeking high-quality gifts. Cartwright & Butler aims to stand out from the crowd by offering affordable luxury. The decision to exhibit follows a focused period of growth and consolidation within the UK travel retail sector. Now the company has initiated a four-year plan to extend its footprint internationally, as it seeks to replicate its success in existing markets. Asia has emerged as the natural next step in this journey. In addition to airport travel retailers, the company is also targeting airlines and cruise operators, building on its recent success with Diamonds International, Harding+ and British Airways. .
