THE FLOORING SHOW
GETS SET FOR 2018 The UK’s national flooring event, The Flooring Show, is in top gear getting ready for its 56th edition to be held at the Harrogate Convention Centre from 16-18th September this year.
Stand sales are running 16% ahead of 2017, with some long-term supporters of the show increasing their stand sizes and being joined by companies returning to exhibit at Harrogate after a break. In total, 83% of 2017 exhibitors have rebooked for 2018 with more to confirm.
Karndean, Furlong Flooring, Lano, Brockway, Victoria, F. Ball & Co. Ltd, Ball & Young, Interfloor and Egger have all rebooked. New companies confirmed for 2018 include Floortrain,
IVC, Staingard, Barth 1873, NMC UK and Home Creations.
Show consultant Wendy Adams said: “It’s exciting to see companies like IVC returning to the show, having not exhibited for many years, but it’s equally satisfying to be able to accommodate space increases with loyal customers like Whitestone Weavers, Cormar, Abingdon and Distinctive Flooring.”
The 2018 floorplan is being changed to accommodate the space increases, which in turn is opening new opportunities for other manufacturers to take part in the event or move halls.
The show team has been out meeting with exhibitors, supporters and trade association teams to listen to and discuss fresh ideas for attracting even more key retailers to the show.
LARGE STOCKS OF UNIVERSAL FIT ACCESSORIES
“As the testimonials from the 2017 edition prove, The Flooring Show has a solid base of support throughout the industry, but it’s our job to improve the offer where we can. By working closely with the industry, we will continue to add to the show’s content and attract more visitors,” said Wendy.
Widely recognised as a key sales and networking event, The Flooring Show is the biggest event in the industry’s calendar. It brings together the retail and contract sectors as well as industry bodies such as the Contract Flooring Association, the National Institute of Carpet & Floorlayers and the Flooring Industry Training Association. The show also hosts the Carpet Fitter of the Year final, which takes place live at the event.
