FIT Show event director Nickie West commented : “ Our visitor pre registration data is a key indicator that people are ready to get back to face-to-face business , but , most importantly , that they are ready to get back to FIT Show .
“ After a very difficult year , it ’ s time to dust ourselves off , get back out there and build back stronger . We are pulling out all of the stops to ensure that FIT Show delivers a safe and successful platform for our industry to get back to doing what it does best .
“ The new Sunday opening is a further opportunity for visitors to attend the show without the need to take time off the tools or out from the office by making a weekend visit . The uplift in early pre registration data has been positively impacted by this .
“ For many , FIT Show is the first opportunity to see , touch and compare the latest products on the market sideby-side . Our exhibitors are already reporting that there will be more new products and innovations on display than any previous FIT Show . It ’ s an exciting time for the whole industry as we work towards reconnecting face-to-face .
“ We ’ ve got so much to look forward to , and with the Government ’ s new ‘ super deduction ’ allowing companies to benefit from huge tax savings on new plant and machinery assets , there are more reasons than ever to visit FIT Show and make those all important purchases .
“ We have been encouraged by the uplift in visitor pre-registration , which places us over 130 % ahead of where we usually are at this point in our campaign . With the successful rollout of UK pilot events of all sizes - with zero social distancing - and more than 50 scheduled events at the NEC before FIT Show , we ’ ve got every reason to plan ahead with confidence .”
FIT Show is the UK ’ s number one , award-winning showcase for the glass , glazing , window , door , hardware and components industry . FIT Show will return to the NEC 26 - 28 September 2021 , Halls 17 , 18 & 19 .
