The campaign, which debuted for FIT Show 2023, is designed to entice new and emerging brands to exhibit at the UK’s number one trade show for the window, door flat glass, hardware, components and roofing industry. 

New for 2025, the competition has been broadened out to accept entries for past exhibitors who might be looking for an extra touchpoint in their 2025 marketing calendar, but aren’t quite in a position to commit to a large stand.

Whoever wins the stand for FIT Show 2025, which returns to Birmingham NEC from 29 April - 1 May, will follow in the footsteps of window and door replacement company, truhouse, who utilised the competition as an opportunity to build on the launch of its national franchise network. The brand will utilised its prize of a stand at FIT Show to help its growth ambitions, with a direct route to national installers at the show. 

Speaking about the return of the competition, FIT Show event director, Nickie West said: “We’re excited to announce the return of our hugely successful ‘win a stand’ competition in conjunction with Window News. We were hugely impressed by the quality of entries for our 2023 launch campaign and, given the challenging backdrop that many corners of the industry are currently facing, we wanted to bring the competition back and broaden it out to include past exhibitors too. 

We’re delighted to be working with Gerald and the team at Window News to help shine a spotlight on the amazing work that is being done throughout the industry and partner with them to provide this special prize for one lucky brand at FIT Show 2025. Good luck!”

Window News publisher Gerald Batt added: “I am delighted that Window News is again teaming up with Nickie and the FIT Show to offer one lucky winner the opportunity of exhibiting at the industry’s key event in the UK.

“I know that for some companies it is a significant commitment to participate at any exhibition, so by having the stand cost at FIT Show 2025 covered by the ‘win a stand’ competition, a sizeable chunk of the outlay is taken care of and the winner can concentrate on their presentation to thousands of potential new customers.”
