The 2025 FIT Show opened its doors yesterday, with thousands of industry professionals making the trip to Birmingham’s NEC.
The event, which concludes tomorrow (Thursday 1 May), has seen numerous product launches, including new door and window systems, software & hardware innovations plus new service initiatives.
It has also presented the chance for visitors to experience and purchase products in the Installer Demo Zone and Marketplace Area – the latter a new feature for 2025’s exhibition – as well as get up to speed on important new legislation and technical requirements via the seminar programme.
Delegates have also enjoyed a wealth of on-stand entertainment, including show exclusive giveaways, plus networking opportunities that will extend into Wednesday evening, with many exhibitors hosting live music and themed food and drink on their stands.
Nicky West, FIT Show director, commented: “I’m absolutely thrilled with the energy and attendance on day one of FIT Show 2025, which has already surpassed our 2023 edition in terms of visitor numbers today. The halls at NEC have been buzzing with thousands of visitors discovering the very latest in windows, doors, glass, hardware and roofing products from close to 300 leading brands and exciting new exhibitors.
Our expanded Installer Demo Zone has been a real highlight, giving visitors hands-on access to live product installations and the brand-new Marketplace area. The CPD-accredited seminar programme, delivered in partnership with FENSA and GGF, has also drawn fantastic crowds, with sessions covering everything from future homes standards to the latest in security and AI.
“It’s been inspiring to see so many connections being made, deals being done, and innovations unveiled – with plenty more to come! FIT Show is all about bringing our industry together, and today’s atmosphere proves just how vital this event is for driving progress and collaboration across the sector.”
