FIT SHOW 2022 REVIEW
FIT Show Makes Triumphant Return
FIT Show , the UK ’ s only dedicated trade show for the window , door , glass , hardware and components industry , has made a triumphant return with its delayed 2021 event ( Birmingham NEC , May 10-12 , 2022 )
Organisers reported record visitor pre-registration numbers , with over ten percent of these being made on the day before the show opened . The atmosphere within the halls at the NEC reflected the appetite that the industry had to get back to face-to-face business , and to support its trade show .
FIT Show was due to take place in 2021 but was delayed three times due to the impact of the global pandemic . Reopening this May without restrictions , the event delivered over 170 brands as part of its exhibitor lineup and more than 30 hours of CPD approved learning content .
FIT Show event director , Nickie West comments : “ I ’ m still absolutely buzzing after returning from a very successful three days of FIT Show . We were anticipating strong visitor numbers based on our pre registration data , but I don ’ t think anything could quite prepare us for the atmosphere , goodwill and camaraderie in the halls throughout the show .
“ Our exhibitors were consistently busy , our seminars reached capacity on more than one occasion and our late night parties saw people quite literally dancing in the aisles . It was everything the team and I hoped that it would be , and more .”
A number of brands used FIT Show as a launchpad to market , with debuts from the likes of Compdoor , Solar-Calibre , DAKO , Rockdoor , UK Doors Online , Checkatrade and Google Nest . The event also saw the return of a number of legacy FIT Show brands including Haffner , SmartReady VEKA , Ultraframe , Selecta Systems , Brisant-Secure , Business Pilot and Made for Trade .
Exhibitors went to great lengths to deliver a first class event for visitors , with ambitious and innovative stand builds
