FIT Show Review

UAP Hails FIT Show Success

More than 750 people flocked to UAP ’ s exhibition stand at FIT Show 2023 with the company ’ s latest innovations generating hundreds of sales leads .

The event , which is the UK ’ s largest for the doors and window trade , saw UAP showcase its vast portfolio of door and window hardware . Visitors also got the chance to win prizes by entering a crack the code competition , and flipping UAP branded beer mats .

The biggest attraction proved to be the IONIC , an ultra-secure electronic lock which is the first in a series of smart products to be offered under UAP ’ s Fullex Ai brand . Quick and easy to install , the lock can be operated using a smartphone App , a fob , a push button on the inside of the door , a thumb turn , or an override key .
Visitors queued to see demonstrations of the IONIC and how it maximises security and convenience for homeowners . “ The IONIC is completely unique and we were able to demonstrate why on our stand ,” said Barry Halpin , National Sales Director for UAP . “ The feedback we received was incredible , not only from our existing customers , but potential new contacts and even some competitors .”
Other popular products on display were the Soterian Slim TS008 letterplate , the Flexi Lock which is offered under UAP ’ s Fullex brand , and the uPVC Universal Flip Axis hinge from Security Hardware , one of the latest companies to be acquired by UAP . A new Armadillo range of products , which provides an anti-bacterial coating for door hardware and is set to be formerly launched later this year , added to the stand .
The event was also an opportunity for UAP to promote the launch of a new company called Fire Door Maintenance ( FDM ) which will help organisations comply with the latest fire safety regulations . Headed by Nicola John , who has 19 years ’ experience of the door manufacturing industry , FDM offers a bespoke door inspection service . UAP ’ s CEO David Jennings added : “ As a company that started life in a small room packing door knockers , we ’ ve come a long way and that was evident from our presence at the show . “ Seeing our latest products and innovations come together on an impressive stand was fantastic , as was the high level of interest from new and existing customers . We ’ re really encouraged by the positive feedback we received for all our products , and the volume of leads generated .”
