FIT’s filling fast for 2017
31st May 2016

Nearly three quarters of the space at the new NEC home of next year’s FIT Show has already been booked

Organisers say the move to the National Exhibition Centre prompted a surge in exhibition stand bookings when it was launched discreetly to exhibitors in December last year and now, with almost exactly a year to go, more than 71% of the exhibition floor space has been snapped up. That is 40% more space again than the total at this year’s event, comfortably justifying the decision to move to the larger venue.

“All exhibition space at The FIT Show has sold out at each of the events staged at Telford,” said Matthew Glover, Chairman of FIT Events Ltd. “Telford has been an excellent venue for us and we have enjoyed being there. But it’s time to move on and from the moment when we quietly introduced that we were moving to the NEC, there has been a clamour for space.

“With a 45% increase in visitors to this year’s FIT Show, with 8,500 window, door and conservatory fabricators, installers and other industry people making their way to Telford, the prospects are even greater for the NEC.

“We are already offering significantly more exhibitors than this year and the convenience of the NEC’s location in itself will also bring appreciably more visitors. We are very excited about 2017; we already know that it’s bigger and we will ensure that it’s more exciting and rewarding to attend, for exhibitors and visitors.”
