The Whispering Grass – What YOU Have To Know
Nickie West, the event director for the FIT Show believes malicious rumour mongers are trying to wreak havoc whispering in corners and even sending anonymous texts saying the show is on the rocks and may not go ahead – rumours she vehemently denies.
West has written to The Installer and The Fabricator Magazines & Websites to state: ‘It has been brought to my attention that the fenestration rumour mill has been working overtime. Yes, we are operating in challenging times, however, I am delighted to report that FIT Show 2025 is on track to grow by an impressive 30% compared to 2023, exceeding our expectations and expanding into four halls at the Birmingham NEC from 29 April to 1 May.
Why FIT Show 2025 matters
West continued: “This growth is not by chance – it’s a testament to the confidence and commitment of our industry leaders. New and returning brands, alongside an increased presence from systems houses are seizing the opportunity to stand out in a rapidly evolving marketplace. They understand that having a presence at FIT Show is not just about showcasing products; it’s about building confidence, maintaining relevance and staying competitive in a shifting landscape.”
The Installer Magazine & TheInstsaller.pro and The Fabricator Magazine & TheFabricator.pro will have a substantial presence at the show and will continue to be a powerful advocate for people to attend…especially installers who might be tempted to not take time out to see all the latest innovations and engage in the extensive and practical educational programme – an opportunity not to be missed despite the urge not to miss a day’s work.
Pivotal
FIT Show 2025 comes at a pivotal time – exactly two years since the last edition and two years until the next in 2027. This makes it a critical touchpoint for the industry. The event will serve as a platform to connect, innovate, and collaborate at a time when such opportunities are more valuable than ever.
Why FIT Show is stronger than ever
West puts the success of FIT Show down to two things – the relentless commitment to investing in the brand; and the loyal and engaged community. The event is backed by the Montgomery Group, with over 130 years of exhibition expertise, the company has built a platform that stands the test of time. West wrote: ‘We’re not static. We constantly evolve and refining our offerings. We find new ways to provide value for our exhibitors and visitors alike.
‘And the results speak for themselves. FIT Show 2022 (our delayed 2021 event) returned stronger than ever after the pandemic and again in 2023. As well as being on track to expand FIT Show 2025 by 30%, we’ve secured the support of more than 150 brands, some who are new to FIT and a large proportion of returning brands who have all made FIT Show an essential fixture in their calendar this year.
‘If you’re a manufacturer or supplier of products for domestic or commercial projects, FIT Show 2025 offers a prime opportunity to connect with the UK market, showcase your innovations and strengthen your position. For fabricators, installers and specifiers, this is your chance to see the latest products and advancements all under one roof and speak directly to suppliers and partners – saving time, sparking ideas, growing your business and preparing for what’s next. This is your show and the industry’s main event.
‘Together, we can ensure that FIT Show 2025 is a celebration of innovation, resilience and growth for the industry. By exhibiting or visiting you're sending out a clear message – ‘we're here, we're FIT and we're ready to do business’.
