The announcement follows the easing of lockdown restrictions across the UK , with the country entering the penultimate phase of the UK Government ’ s ‘ roadmap to recovery ’, which is on track to culminate with the lifting of all restrictions from June 21st .

FIT Show will return to the NEC Birmingham from Sunday September 26 - 28 , 2021 . The event , which is free to attend , will see over 200 brands from the home improvement industry showcase the very latest products on the market for the first time since 2019 .

Organisers of the UK ’ s number one event for the glass and glazing industry are working

hard behind the scenes to ensure that it makes a triumphant return in September . 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 .”

FIT Show ’ s record visitor registrations follow hot on the heels of April becoming its biggest month for exhibitor sign ups since January . The latest brands to join the lineup are listed on the FIT Show website .

Nickie added : “ For many , FIT Show is the first opportunity to see , touch and compare the latest products on the market side-byside . 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 .
