The countdown is on

A raft of brands have recently signed up to exhibit at the upcoming FIT Show, taking place between 29 April – 1 May at the NEC in Birmingham.

Visitors will be able to see a broad range of brands, products and services at the UK’s only dedicated trade show for the window, door, flat glass, hardware, components and roofing industry.

Alongside increasing the footprint of the show by 30%, organisers have delivered on increasing the representation of systems houses, something its post 2023 survey highlighted as an area exhibitors and visitors felt needed to be improved upon.

Systems houses set to exhibit at FIT Show this year include: ALUK, Cortizo, Smart Systems, Exlabesa, Residence Collection, Aluplast and FIT Show stalwarts, Selecta Systems who have exhibited at every edition.

Speaking about the importance of FIT Show 2025, Mark Walker, Marketing Manager for Selecta Systems commented: “FIT Show plays a big part in our overall marketing strategy. It’s an event that we’ve been part of since day one, having seen and experienced the real value and benefits of being part of FIT.

“Nothing beats face-to-face interaction, something we’ve lost over the last few years, especially when you’re demonstrating your latest products and innovations to the industry. People want to visualise, touch and immerse themselves in the overall experience and the FIT Show provides us with that opportunity, with a large industry specific audience at our disposal over the three days.”

Russell Yates, Managing Director at AluK, added: “I’ve always been a huge supporter of the FIT Show – if you get your approach just right and really focus on the experience for visitors, it’s where the magic happens. Of course, we’ll be showcasing new products and service initiatives on our stand, but we’ll also be using FIT to demonstrate to both new and existing customers why AluK is now such an exciting and rewarding systems company to partner with.

“We’ll be giving everyone who comes to the stand a taste of what it means to be an AluK customer, and we intend to create the kind of buzz around our brand that you can only get at a live event. We all know that fabricators and installers want to see more systems companies at FIT and, if my experience at previous shows is anything to go by, companies who aren’t there will undoubtedly miss out.”

Nickie West, FIT Show event director, explained that the show always listens to feedback received. She said: “We take our audience feedback incredibly seriously, which is why we also invest a significant amount of time in surveying our exhibitors and visitors, running focus groups and creating multiple touchpoints for them to share their views on the show.

“When our post 2023 show survey highlighted that people felt there was a lack of systems houses at the event, we made it our mission to spotlight the great brands who already supported us as well as developing a targeted campaign to help attract even more systems houses to exhibit alongside these.

“The fact that we have retained the support of brands such as Selecta Systems for every edition of the event, and that we’ve seen the return of the likes of ALUK, Residence Collection, Cortizo, Smart Systems, Exlabesa and Aluplast shows the importance of FIT Show within their own marketing strategies for 2025 and beyond. I’d like to thank them for their support and I’m excited to hear the wider feedback on the impact of their presence from the sector post FIT Show 2025.

“As well as an increased presence from systems houses at FIT Show 2025, our audience will be able to take advantage of new and improved features, such as the Installer Demo Zone. We’re also excited to share the details of our highly targeted and timely CPD programme which we are curating in consultation with the GGF and FENSA to cover the latest regulatory and legislative changes around issues such as building regs. It’s going to be an unmissable event for the whole sector.”
