Organisers of the Fit Show – a UK-based trade exhibition for businesses within the glazing and home improvement markets – have supported the decision of organisers of Fensterbau Frontale, a Nuremberg-based industry trade show, to delay Fensterbau until July. (See our coverage of the postponement, here.)
Nickie West, event director for the Fit Show, said: “Fit Show once again supports the announcement that Fensterbau Frontale has been delayed until 12 to 15 July 2022. This cannot have been an easy decision for the organisers, especially given that events are permitted to go ahead in Nuremberg. The organisers have listened to their stakeholders, who were concerned about rising rates of Covid and the potential imposing of restrictions, and created a new, more certain timeline for the industry to work towards.
“The UK’s successful vaccination rollout, coupled with the easing of travel and Covid restrictions, have all contributed to it being recognised as the most open country in Europe. This has enabled the UK events industry to make a strong and stable comeback in recent weeks, which will be further bolstered by this week’s announcement that all Covid restrictions are to be lifted in England.
“The new Fensterbau dates mean that Fit Show will be the first major European fenestration industry trade show to take place for three years, when we return to the NEC in May (from 10 to 12 2022) with our delayed 2021 event. Fit Show will then return in May 2023, as planned, and continue with its biennial frequency, falling in line with Fensterbau’s biennial frequency thereafter.
“On behalf of the whole Fit Show team, we would like to once again extend our support to the Fensterbau team and its exhibitors. We are looking forward to supporting the event when it returns later this year.”
