Business alignment, growth strategy and leadership development will take centre stage at insightEDGE 2026, as marketing intelligence company Insight Data encourages firms to attend the event as teams rather than individuals.

Taking place on September 17 in Bromsgrove, the one-day event has been designed to help businesses bring leadership teams, sales professionals, marketers and customer service staff together around a shared vision for growth.

While many industry events focus on individual learning, insightEDGE is built around the

principle that business performance improves when entire organisations understand the same objectives, opportunities and priorities.

For leadership teams, the event offers a valuable opportunity to step away from day-today operations, assess growth plans and ensure strategies are clearly understood by the people responsible for delivering them.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to learn directly from Andrew Scott, founder of Insight Data, whose growth strategies have helped reshape businesses across the fenestration and wider construction sectors. Drawing

on 30 years of experience, Andrew will share the commercial thinking, practical frameworks and lessons that have delivered

results for companies throughout the industry.

“ Businesses often invest heavily in developing strategy,

but far less time in ensuring that strategy is understood across the organisation,” said Andrew Scott.“ insightEDGE is designed to close that gap, bringing teams together to create clarity, alignment and momentum.” Alongside keynote presentations and workshops for marketing, sales, management and financial teams, the event will feature networking opportunities, product demonstrations, exclusive announcements and industry insights.

EVA CRM, the newly launched CRM business developed in-house by the Emplas group, will make its debut at FIT Show 2027, the UK’ s only dedicated fabricator and installer tradeshow, taking place at the NEC, Birmingham, from 18- 20 May, 2027.

Using FIT Show as a launchpad, EVA CRM will introduce its platform to a wider market of fabricators, installers and related trade businesses, while building on the success of the system already developed and used within the wider Emplas business.

Developed over the last 24 months by an in-house IT team, EVA CRM has been

created to support different business models and offer a more flexible approach to customer relationship management. The platform is designed to integrate directly with manufacturers, pulling data into the CRM through API links and helping businesses streamline operations, improve accuracy and support growth. Importantly, EVA CRM has been established as a separate brand and business, distinct from Emplas, allowing it to develop its own market identity while still drawing on the experience and technical capability behind its creation.

The brand recently launched its new website, www. evacrm. co. uk, marking another key step in its go-to-market strategy as it prepares to build awareness ahead of FIT Show 2027 and beyond.

Headed up by Jo Savant, EVA CRM will utilise FIT Show 2027 as an opportunity to introduce EVA CRM properly to the market and connect with a broader audience of fabricators, installers, doors and windows businesses and wider trade partners.

Jo-Anne Savant said:“ FIT Show gives us the ideal platform to launch EVA CRM to the market in a meaningful way. We’ ve built the system carefully over the last 24

months and we see the show as a great opportunity to open up those conversations, demonstrate how it works in practice and show how it can support business growth.”

Nickie West, FIT Show event director, added:“ It’ s always exciting to welcome new brands to FIT Show, especially those using the event as a launchpad for growth. EVA CRM is a great addition to the show because it brings something new and relevant for visitors who are looking for smarter, more efficient ways to run their businesses. Its debut reflects the kind of innovation and ambition that makes FIT Show an essential meeting place for the industry.”

EVA CRM’ s presence at FIT Show 2027 will support the business as it continues to move towards wider market visibility and a broader commercial rollout.

Further details on the company’ s FIT Show 2027 plans will be announced in due course. To find out more about EVA CRM, visit www. evacrm. co. uk
