AN OPEN LETTER

Nickie West , Event Director , FIT Show
We Are FIT for Business . Are You ?
It has been brought to my attention that the fenestration rumour mill has been working overtime . As such , I want to take a moment to set the record straight , share exciting updates , and invite you to join us as we approach what promises to be our most ambitious FIT Show yet .
First , let ’ s address the current climate . Yes , we are operating in challenging times , with an unpredictable global political and economic backdrop . However , I am delighted to report that FIT Show 2025 is on track to grow by an impressive 30 % compared to 2023 , exceeding our expectations and expanding into four halls at the Birmingham NEC from 29 April to 1 May .
Why FIT Show 2025 Matters
This growth is not by chance — it ’ s a testament to the confidence and commitment of our industry leaders . New and returning brands , alongside an increased presence from systems houses , are seizing the opportunity to stand out in a rapidly evolving marketplace . They understand that having a presence at FIT Show is not just about showcasing products ; it ’ s about building confidence , maintaining relevance , and staying competitive in a shifting landscape .
FIT Show 2025 comes at a pivotal time — exactly two years since our last edition and two years until the next in 2027 . This makes it a critical touchpoint for our industry . The event will serve as a unique platform to connect , innovate , and collaborate at a time when such opportunities are more valuable than ever .
Why FIT Show Is Stronger Than Ever
The success of FIT Show comes down to two things : our relentless commitment to investing in the brand and the loyal and engaged community . Backed by the Montgomery Group , with over 130 years of exhibition expertise , we ’ ve built a platform that stands the test of time . We ’ re not static ; we ’ re constantly evolving , refining our offering , and finding new ways to provide value for our exhibitors and visitors alike .
And the results speak for themselves . Despite the challenges of recent years , FIT Show 2022 ( our delayed 2021 event ) returned stronger than ever after the pandemic , and again in 2023 . As well as being on track to expand FIT Show 2025 by 30 %, we ’ ve secured the support of more than 150 brands , some who are new to FIT and a large proportion of returning brands who have all made FIT Show an essential fixture in their calendar this year .
Why You Can ’ t Afford to Miss It
If you ’ re a manufacturer or supplier of products for domestic or commercial projects , FIT Show 2025 offers a prime opportunity to connect with the UK market , showcase your innovations , and strengthen your position . For fabricators , installers and specifiers , this is your chance to see the latest products and advancements all under one roof and speak directly to suppliers and partners — saving time , sparking ideas , growing your business and preparing for what ’ s next . This is your show , and the industry ’ s main event .
To Any Brands Sitting on the Fence
Now is the time to act . With FIT Show 2025 shaping up to be the biggest and best edition in our history , your presence will signal that your business is ready to thrive , not just survive , in the years ahead .
Together , we can ensure that FIT Show 2025 is a celebration of innovation , resilience , and growth for the fenestration industry . By exhibiting or visiting you ’ re sending out a clear message - ‘ we ’ re here , we ’ re FIT and we ’ re ready to do business !’
Looking Ahead
FIT Show is more than just a trade show — it ’ s a community , a legacy , and a promise of what ’ s to come . This is your opportunity to demonstrate that your business is stable and succeeding in an everchanging landscape . FIT Show is here to stay , and we hope you ’ ll join us as we continue to grow , innovate , and shape the future of the fenestration industry together .
