The Flooring Industry Training Association (FITA), The National Institute of Carpet and Floorlayers (NICF), and the Contract Flooring Association (CFA) has partnered with InstallerSHOW, raising the profile of flooring among a variety of audience groups.
The event will take place from 24 to 26 June at the NEC, Birmingham.
InstallerSHOW has grown rapidly in recent years, and with expansion into new sectors has come demand for more product areas. The increase in multi-skilled trades in attendance, along with specifiers and building owners, has been a key driver behind this success.
Accompanying this is an increased demand for flooring products from visitors working on both commercial and residential projects.
To meet this demand, InstallerSHOW will be working with FITA to create a live three-day demo area, with the NICF who are hosting the semi-finals of the Fitter of the Year LVT competition, and the CFA supporting Building Safety Week alongside a number of industry stakeholders to represent the flooring sector.
InstallerSHOW’s lively atmosphere, substantial footfall, and engaging stands and content were all factors that led these three key flooring trade associations supporting the InstallerSHOW 2025.
Shaun Wadsworth, training manager at the Flooring Industry Training Association, said: “InstallerSHOW 2024 was buzzing with high footfall, so we are excited about this partnership with an even bigger event in 2025. We see the opportunity to promote flooring standards to a large audience of installers, increasing skills and labour in the flooring sector.”
Richard Catt, CEO of the CFA said: “We are looking forward to creating a centrally located meeting point for installers of flooring products, and members from our association.
“We will be exhibiting at the eventand are also delighted to be a part of Building Safety Week, an important area for our members. We look forward to sharing best practice and expertise.”
Nathan Garnett, business development director at InstallerSHOW, added: “This is a fantastic partnership for InstallerSHOW, bringing a vital sector into the mix for our visitors who are specifying, buying and installing flooring products across commercial and residential projects.
“The traditional heating and flooring sectors are now so intertwined that bringing professionals and manufacturers from these sectors together to collaborate is going to help everyone and is at the very heart of what InstallerSHOW is about.
“We look forward to working with all three associations to promote innovation and excellence in the flooring industry.”
A number of key flooring brands have already signed up for stands at InstallerSHOW 2025 as the event grows to 800 exhibitors and 30,000 attendees across three halls.
