FIT SHOW 2019: 50% OF FLOOR SPACE BOOKED
» » WITH FIT SHOW 2017
still fresh in the memory of the
window, door and conservatory
industry, attention now turns to
the future and FIT Show 2019,
especially as it hopes to top the
huge success of this year’s first
show at the NEC.
The move to the National
Exhibition Centre prompted
a surge in exhibition stand
bookings last year when the new
venue was announced. This year
sees a similar trend but now
previous exhibitors are booking
their stand space so they can start
planning how they are going to
top this year’s show.
“With such rapid growth we had
to move to the NEC and it proved
the right decision looking at the
numbers from our first show in
Birmingham,” said Nickie West,
Event Director of FIT Events Ltd,
the company behind the FIT Show.
“With a visitor increase of almost
17% in comparison to our previous
show we owe that to some of the
most creative marketing campaigns
from exhibitors and impr essive
stands we’ve seen yet.”
To book a stand at FIT Show
2019 please contact Rik

Winds of Change
» » WITH THE IMPACT OF BREXIT NOW
starting to bite, understanding long-term
industry drivers is now more important than
ever.
The window and door industry is ‘not
immune from the impact of Brexit and faces
strong economic headwinds’ – that’s the warning
from Robert Palmer. According to the head of
the research specialist, the UK window industry
faces dual challenges of a tougher second-time
replacement market and wider economic
uncertainty as the UK exits from Brussels.
“The post-Brexit phoney war is coming to
an end and the realities of what will result in

the case of a hard Brexit are now beginning to
dawn”, he says.
With a new study, due for publication at
the end of the summer, Palmer refused to be
drawn on a detailed analysis of the window
and door. He suggested, however, that tougher
second-time replacement sells and the shift
away from home ownership, are driving long-
term changes of their own.
Figures published by Palmer in its last
report: The Window, Door and Conservatory
Markets in Housing in Great Britain
(Oct 2016), first time window and door
replacements have dropped from 80% in 2000
to less than 30% in 2015, with ‘replacement
of replacement’ installations now accounting
for 70% of all installations.
