FIT Show Preview
Delighted with FIT Show Debut
Wendland , one of the UK ’ s leading lantern and conservatory roof brands , received a tremendous response to its recent FIT Show debut . The company ’ s stand , which featured the popular Wendland Lantern as its focus , was busy on each day of the show with visitors all wanting to learn more about the product range and marketing support .
Wendland Brand Manager , Chloe McGrath , said : “ Although Wendland has been established since 1995 , we have always been a bit of a ‘ well-kept secret ’. After re-launching our Lantern in recent years , we felt that the 2022 FIT Show was the perfect place for us to reconnect with the industry and let people know what we have to offer . There was a really
positive atmosphere , and it was great to receive so much positive feedback about our products and services .”
Wendland sells its wide range of conservatory and extension roofing solutions to fabricators , trade counters , and installers from its Lancashire base and operates on an ethos of high quality at low prices . The Wendland stand at the FIT Show featured the Lantern as the star of the show and allowed visitors to get to grips with it for themselves by having a go at building it to see just how easy it is to install . Both the rectangular and more recently introduced square designs were on show , with members of the Wendland team on hand to answer questions about the products and the support available to sell them . wendland . uk . com

He added : “ Dekko is the first company in the UK to offer this unique window , and we were delighted to showcase what it has to offer with Haffner at this year ’ s FIT Show .”
