Don’t Do a Dave! It’s Time to Lock FIT Show 2025 in Your Calendar!

It’s that time again – FIT Show is back! You could be forgiven for thinking there won’t be much new to see when FIT Show returns to the NEC from 29 April – 1 May. It’s only been a couple of years since the last show after all. It’ll be the same old brands, same old products. Might as well wait until the next one. Wrong! 

We get it, you might be like Dave. He’s still catching up on jobs from last year and has enough leads to see him well into 2026. Maybe you’ve been so busy chasing leads that you can’t even think about taking time off the tools to visit FIT Show 2025. Dave doesn’t realise that if he doesn’t visit FIT Show 2025, he’ll have to wait another two years until the next show in 2027. 

He mustn’t have heard that almost 30% of the exhibitors at FIT Show 2025 are brands from overseas, over 20 different countries in fact. Dave won’t get to see the latest products and innovations literally from across the world. He probably doesn’t know 48% of the exhibitors this year have never exhibited at FIT Show before either. He also doesn’t know that he’ll be missing out on all of the exclusive product launches, show offers and discounts that exhibitors are offering for FIT Show 2025 visitors too. 

And we’re pretty sure that Dave won’t realise that as well as turning his back on the chance to see the latest windows, doors, glass, hardware and components, he’s also missing out on more outdoor living products such as decking, fencing, awnings and garden rooms that will be on display, as well as an increased focus on roofing solutions. 

Installer Demo Zone

Dave mustn’t have heard about the Installer Demo Zone which will include live product demos from the likes of Made for Trade, ALUK, Bereco, SmartSystems and Brett Martin. Dave won’t be able to receive training and support on how to install the latest products on the market, as well as speak directly to the people who manufacture and supply them at FIT Show. He’ll also miss the BRAND NEW Installer Marketplace with tools, products and tech to help installers. 

By missing FIT Show 2025 Dave is also turning his back on over 30 hours of CPD certified learning content delivered by industry experts, with technical and regulatory content delivered by GGF and FENSA. He mustn’t want to know more about how to better market his business and drive more leads. That’s one more space in the seminar theatre for installers who do want to do better business! 

He’ll be saying goodbye to sessions like these:

Dave is MISSING OUT!

Dave mustn’t want to see four halls of brands showcasing products, materials, smart tech, software and services than ever before. He mustn’t be looking to bolster his business, broaden his portfolio and secure his pipeline for the next two years.

Dave’s passing up on the chance to see brands like Supalite Tiled Roof Systems, Bereco, Clayton Glass, Hegla, SawStop, FOREL, Invisifold, Noton Blinds, Blakely Construction, Victorian Sliders, Kean Tools, Quickslide, Novoferm, SWS and Emmegi who have all joined the lineup in the last couple of weeks. That’s on top of the 150+ other brands who have already secured their spot on the floorplan. 

Perhaps he’s not a fan of networking, or hearing first hand advice and support from other people in his industry. He also mustn’t be bothered about industry experts like Robin Clevett, a leading carpentry and building expert with over 113,000 YouTube subscribers who will be sharing hands-on demonstrations, expert advice on material selection, and tips on the latest installation techniques.

And he probably doesn’t realise that the show is open until 8pm on Wednesday 30th April meaning he could keep on top of his jobs during the day and still have time to visit for the late night opening. He won’t be at the PiG’s party, that’s for sure. Or that it’s completely FREE to attend – we won’t tell him that!  

Lock it in!

If you’ve not got the biggest business days of 2025 locked in your calendar, what are you waiting for? Can you afford to wait that long to secure new leads, speak to suppliers, see the latest products and innovations and stay abreast of legislative and regulatory changes?
