ALL SYSTEMS GO FOR FIT SHOW 2025

It ’ s all systems go for FIT Show 2025 , which has seen a raft of brands sign up to exhibit for its 29 April - 1 May Birmingham NEC event in recent weeks . Visitors will be able to see a broad range of brands , products and services at the UK ’ s only dedicated trade show for the window , door , flat glass , hardware , components and roofing industry .
Alongside increasing the footprint of the show by 30 %, organisers have delivered on increasing the representation of systems houses , something its post 2023 survey highlighted as an area exhibitors and visitors felt needed to be improved upon .
Systems houses set to exhibit at FIT Show this year include ALUK , Cortizo , Smart Systems , Exlabesa , Residence Collection , Aluplast and FIT Show stalwarts , Selecta Systems who have exhibited at every edition .
Speaking about the importance of FIT Show 2025 , Mark Walker , marketing manager for Selecta Systems comments : “ FIT Show plays a big part in our overall marketing strategy . It ’ s an event that we ’ ve been part of since day one , having seen and experienced the real value and benefits of being part of FIT . Nothing beats face-to-face interaction , something we ’ ve lost over the last few years , especially when you ’ re demonstrating your latest products and innovations to the industry . People want to visualise , touch and immerse themselves in the overall experience and the FIT Show provides us with that opportunity , with a large industry specific audience at our disposal over the three days .
“ With some exciting new additions to our portfolio of products and services in the pipeline , we ’ re looking forward to FIT Show 2025 with huge optimism and confidence . Not only will you see Selecta show off new additions to our hugely successful ADVANCE 70 System , but you will also see the launch of another set of innovative developments to our Connect customer portal . We are confident that the latest developments will be a game changer and set a new standard in how fabricators generate sales leads ,
manage sales and fabricate . FIT Show 2025 will be the year to Connect and # bepartofthefamily .”
Russell Yates , Managing Director at AluK , says : “ I ’ ve always been a huge supporter of the FIT Show – if you get your approach just right and really focus on the experience for visitors , it ’ s where the magic happens . Of course , we ’ ll be showcasing new products and service initiatives on our stand , but we ’ ll also be using FIT to demonstrate to both new and existing customers why AluK is now such an exciting and rewarding systems company to partner with .
“ We ’ ll be giving everyone who comes to the stand a taste of what it means to be an AluK customer , and we intend to create the kind of buzz around our brand that you can only get at a live event . We all know that fabricators and installers want to see more systems companies
at FIT and , if my experience at previous shows is anything to go by , companies who aren ’ t there will undoubtedly miss out .”
Andy Green , Selecta Systems sales director adds : “ FIT Show has always and continues to be an important part of the calendar year for Selecta . Not only do you get to see and exhibit the latest innovations within the industry , but FIT Show also presents you with the opportunity to meet with customers , potential clients and industry colleagues face-toface in an engaging and relaxed environment outside of the workplace , office or factory . With just shy of 10,000 visitors at each of the last two FIT Shows , we have a large dedicated audience to target over the course of the three days to demonstrate how Selecta , our range of products and services can help fabricators and installers businesses grow .
“ That ’ s why FIT Show 2025 will again provide Selecta with the perfect platform to showcase and demo our latest products and services directly to fabricators and installers , whether they be existing or potential partners . With new additions to our ADVANCE 70 System set to be featured and further enhancements to our marketing support package , we ’ re really excited about this year ’ s show . This is why Selecta continues to support the industry ’ s number one show , being the only PVCu systems company to exhibit at every FIT Show since it began !”
