‘We met key suppliers at FIT’
17th November 2015

David Thornton, head of the award winning installer THE WINDOW COMPANY (Contracts) Ltd, has said in a recent interview how ‘at least half a dozen’ of his company’s new suppliers were found by visiting The FIT Show last year.

“Before we attended we researched The FIT Show and prepared meticulously and as a result have met at least half a dozen of our new suppliers as a result.” he said.

David goes on to say in the article how he and one of his company’s primary suppliers Glazerite came together after meeting at the show, and he discusses the importance of the preparation he and his team make beforehand: “When we visit the next FIT Show in April next year we will take along a prepared synopsis so that exhibitors that we approach have more information from the outset and can better respond to our needs when they come back to us after the event.” Such attention to detail also extends to post-show contact: “When we get into discussions with potential suppliers after the show we take along our balance sheet to show them who they are dealing with.”

David also offers advice to exhibitors: ““I like controlled enthusiasm,” says David. “I don’t want to be attacked but neither can I stand the sight of people sitting down on a stand. Stand design is not an issue usually but tidiness, organisation and readiness are!”

The Fabricator Installer Trade (FIT) Show takes place at The International Centre Telford on 12th, 13th 14th April 2016. Visitors can reserve their free tickets now by visiting: http://www.fitshow.co.uk/reserve-your-tickets
