“ Similarly, a huge objective for 2025 was to meet the demand from 2023 visitors to see more systems houses represented on the show floor. We took this
number from three in 2023 to seven for this edition, which included Selecta Systems, ALUK, Cortizo, Residence Collection, Aluplast, Smart Systems, Exlabesa- this was incredibly well received by visitors!”
INNOVATION ON DISPLAY
The show floor was alive with product launches, from new door and window systems to the latest in software, hardware, and service innovations. Many brands timed their launches to coincide with FIT Show, giving visitors exclusive first access to cutting-edge solutions. The Installer Demo Zone, sponsored by Smart Systems and back by popular demand, provided hands-on demonstrations of machinery and installation techniques, allowing attendees to experience products in action and gain practical insights from participating brands including ALUK, Soudal, Bereco, Brett Martin, Kenricks, Keylite Roof Windows and the Timber Joinery Network.
Nickie adds:“ Attracting roofing and construction professionals was a big objective for our 2025 campaign. Features such as the Installer Demo Zone and Marketplace allowed us to incorporate new brands and product offerings, with
the likes of Gutterplus delivering hands-on demonstrations for people looking for new and innovative ways to not only install roof lights and lanterns, but the ancillary products to support these.”
A MARKETPLACE FOR THE MODERN INSTALLER
A standout new feature for 2025 was the Marketplace, where visitors could purchase tools, services and ancillaries directly on the show floor. Located alongside the Installer Demo Zone, this area gave tradespeople immediate access to the latest innovations, making FIT Show not just a place to discover but also to equip and upgrade in real time. Participants included Blakeley Construction, ER Certification, CT1, Camel Clamp and Xpert Tools who created a starter bundle for glaziers.
EDUCATION, LEGISLATION, AND CPD
FIT Show 2025 also cemented its reputation as the industry’ s leading learning platform. The CPD-accredited seminar programme, delivered in partnership with
GGF & FENSA, drew impressive crowds with sessions covering everything from new building regulations and sustainability to AI, security, and future homes standards.
This content was free to all visitors and designed to keep the industry up to speed with the latest technical and legislative developments.
Ben Wallace, GGF managing director comments:“ I’ ve attended many FIT Shows during my time at the GGF, and this one was by far the best for us. The GGF stand was absolutely packed for the majority of the show. It gave me a moment to step back and appreciate the progress we’ ve made. We were able to showcase a lot of the hard work and various workstreams the team has been focused on over the past couple of years, and we received some really strong feedback.”
NETWORKING AND AFTER-HOURS BUZZ
Beyond the stands, FIT Show’ s networking opportunities were second to none. On-stand entertainment, exclusive giveaways, and the much-anticipated Late Night Wednesday- with its live music, themed food and drink, and relaxed atmosphere-fostered meaningful connections and a real sense of industry
