FIT Show has been the UK’s number one trade show for the window, door, flat glass, hardware, components and roofing industry for more than a decade. We’ve come a long way since we launched in 2013. Here’s a look back at how it all started…
FIT Show Brand Story
Before 2013 - before FIT Show - installers, specifiers and developers who sought to build a better business for themselves, and better places for people to live and work, faced a problem. They wanted to advance, but they were busy people.
The great innovators, the businesses who gave ambitious installers the tools to make people’s homes more attractive, offices more comfortable, to build flexible, warm and secure buildings were out there, but spread across the land. They were hard to find.
How could the enterprising installer be sure they had the right products, the right suppliers?
How could they compare those products to others?
How could they learn about the latest technologies, innovations and ideas to improve their company?
To make them more financially secure and their customers happier in the environments they built for them?
How could they possibly rely on the internet to identify all that was out there?
And even if they could, how could they make the time to find everything, let alone go and see everything?
They couldn’t… until 2013. Until FIT Show.
In 2013, FIT Show was born, allowing the UK fenestration industry to connect on a scale like never before bringing together all of the companies who could help determined, passionate and forward-thinking fabricators, installers, fitters, specifiers and builders in one place.
An event where all the best products, services, ideas, innovations and concepts would be available to them under one roof. For more than a decade FIT Show has welcomed thousands of visitors eager to meet suppliers demonstrating their products and ideas in person, face-to-face driving innovation and progression in the sector.
