Taking place at the NEC Birmingham from 18-20 May 2027, FIT Show is the UK’s only dedicated fabricator and installer tradeshow, bringing together the people, products and partners that shape the fenestration market. For Fentrade, the event offers a valuable platform to showcase its business, strengthen relationships with existing customers and create new opportunities with both customers and non-customers alike.

The business, which has been trading for eight years, is entering a new phase of expansion following the appointment of new shareholders last year to support its growth ambitions. That growth has already been underpinned by a new 10,539 sq ft manufacturing facility in Newport, South Wales, alongside a significant investment in manufacturing capability with the addition of new Elumatec machinery. With increased capacity and a bigger workforce planned, Fentrade is well placed to serve customers of all sizes, from retail installers and trade counters through to contractors, while maintaining the same level of service across the board.

This year, the company is also progressing through ISO 9001 accreditation and is preparing to push PAS 24 and Secure by Design-related standards well in advance of FIT Show 2027. These accreditations will be especially relevant as it looks to build stronger relationships with contractors seeking proven quality, compliance and confidence in their supply chain.

Chris Reeks, Fentrade MD, said: “FIT Show has always been an important event for us, and this will be our fourth time exhibiting. It’s not just about flying the flag - we want to bring on more business than in previous years and use the show as a springboard for the next stage of our growth. We’ve got a good story to tell, and FIT Show is the right place to share where we want to be and invite people to come on the journey with us.”

Alongside servicing its existing customer base, the business is increasingly focused on attracting more contractors, complementing its existing retail and trade customer base.

Chris added: “We work with all types of retail installers, trade counters and contractors. The value may vary from customer to customer, but the standard of service doesn’t. We make sure everyone gets the same level of attention and care, and FIT Show gives us the opportunity to talk to new and existing customers about exactly what they need.”

Nickie West, Event Director at FIT Show, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Fentrade back to FIT Show 2027. Their growth story, investment in capacity and focus on quality and compliance make them a strong fit for the show. FIT Show is where the industry comes together to do business, compare solutions and discover new opportunities, so it’s fantastic to see Fentrade using the event to reach a wider audience and build on the success of previous years.”

Fentrade’s presence at FIT Show 2027 will reflect the company’s confidence in its future and its intention to connect with a broader cross-section of the market. FIT Show will play an important role in building awareness, opening new conversations and supporting the next stage of Fentrade’s development.

FIT Show 2027 takes place at the NEC Birmingham from 18-20 May 2027.
