We Are FIT for Business. Are You?

It has been brought to my attention that the fenestration rumour mill has been working overtime. As such, I want to take a moment to set the record straight, share exciting updates, and invite you to join us as we approach what promises to be our most ambitious FIT Show yet.

First, let’s address the current climate. Yes, we are operating in challenging times, with an unpredictable global political and economic backdrop. However, I am delighted to report that FIT Show 2025 is on track to grow by an impressive 30% compared to 2023, exceeding our expectations and expanding into four halls at the Birmingham NEC from 29 April to 1 May.

Why FIT Show 2025 Matters

This growth is not by chance — it’s a testament to the confidence and commitment of our industry leaders. New and returning brands, alongside an increased presence from systems houses, are seizing the opportunity to stand out in a rapidly evolving marketplace. They understand that having a presence at FIT Show is not just about showcasing products; it’s about building confidence, maintaining relevance, and staying competitive in a shifting landscape.

FIT Show 2025 comes at a pivotal time — exactly two years since our last edition and two years until the next in 2027. This makes it a critical touchpoint for our industry. The event will serve as a unique platform to connect, innovate, and collaborate at a time when such opportunities are more valuable than ever.

Why FIT Show Is Stronger Than Ever

The success of FIT Show comes down to two things: our relentless commitment to investing in the brand and the loyal and engaged community. Backed by the Montgomery Group, with over 130 years of exhibition expertise, we’ve built a platform that stands the test of time. We’re not static; we’re constantly evolving, refining our offering, and finding new ways to provide value for our exhibitors and visitors alike.

And the results speak for themselves. Despite the challenges of recent years, FIT Show 2022 (our delayed 2021 event) returned stronger than ever after the pandemic, and again in 2023. As well as being on track to expand FIT Show 2025 by 30%, we’ve secured the support of more than 150 brands, some who are new to FIT and a large proportion of returning brands who have all made FIT Show an essential fixture in their calendar this year.

Why You Can’t Afford to Miss It

If you’re a manufacturer or supplier of products for domestic or commercial projects, FIT Show 2025 offers a prime opportunity to connect with the UK market, showcase your innovations, and strengthen your position. For fabricators, installers and specifiers, this is your chance to see the latest products and advancements all under one roof and speak directly to suppliers and partners  — saving time, sparking ideas, growing your business and preparing for what’s next. This is your show, and the industry’s main event.

To Any Brands Sitting on the Fence

Now is the time to act. With FIT Show 2025 shaping up to be the biggest and best edition in our history, your presence will signal that your business is ready to thrive, not just survive, in the years ahead.

Together, we can ensure that FIT Show 2025 is a celebration of innovation, resilience, and growth for the fenestration industry. By exhibiting or visiting you’re sending out a clear message – ‘we’re here, we’re FIT and we’re ready to do business!’

Looking Ahead

FIT Show 2025 is not just an event; it’s a statement. It marks two years since our last edition and two years until the next in 2027, making it a critical touchpoint for our industry. This is your opportunity to demonstrate that your business is stable and succeeding in an everchanging landscape.

FIT Show is more than just a trade show — it’s a community, a legacy, and a promise of what’s to come. FIT Show is here to stay, and we hope you’ll join us as we continue to grow, innovate, and shape the future of the fenestration industry together.
