Sandy Gale, publishing director of Woman's Weekly says: "It is wonderful to have support from such a great list of brands, particularly in our first year. We have had an incredible amount of interest in the show from readers and the support our sponsors have offered has been invaluable. We all look forward to making Woman's Weekly Live an engaging and exciting event for all involved."
