Mix Business With Pleasure
At The FIT Show Gala Dinner

One of the showpiece events held at the midway point of the exhibition, inside the extravagant confines of the ICT’s Ironbridge Suite, was the FIT Show Gala Dinner, attended by more than 800 people.

Expertly compered by The FIT Show’s very own Paul Godwin, guests were provided with the perfect opportunity to exchange the exhibition floors for the dance floor and treated to a night filled with entertainment.The Sales Professional of the Year and Master Fitter Challenge competitions also reached a dramatic conclusion with cash prizes totalling £20,000 handed out to the winners.

At the beginning of the night, the 15 cyclists from the glazing, construction and related industries tackling the 2,616 mile long route from Chicago to Santa Monica later this year, in aid of Hope House Children’s Hospice, were invited up onto the stage and received a rapturous reception.

Their impending efforts were further acknowledged by the audience as a charity casino hosted later in the night raised a highly impressive £2,670 towards the cause.

There then followed one of the highlights of the night, the prize-giving for both the Sales Professional of the Year and Master Fitter Challenge, as Adrian Phillips of Nolan UPVC and Arron Clegg of Eco-Sash were crowned respectively.

Belly laughs at the event were supplied by top stand-up comedian Ed Byrne with the music provided by Motown Gold. Guests also seized the chance to show off their driving abilities on the specially created giant Scalextric track sponsored by Fab ‘n’ Fix and ‘gamble’ in the Casino sponsored by Solidor on behalf of the HOPE66 ride, as partying went on long into the night.
