PROUD TO SPONSOR CLEARVIEW’S FIT SHOW PREVIEW FIT SHOW 2017 STAND C58 MR & MRS FIT TAKE OVER TWITTER » » They may be small in stature, but thanks to an online marketing campaign from the organisers of the FIT Show, there are two new stars of Twitter that are proving to be a massive hit with the window, door and conservatory industry. Called Mr & Mrs FIT, the cardboard couple have been busy touring the country over the last few months, and have been snapped in dozens of locations in the run up to the 2017 FIT Show at Birmingham’s NEC. In fact, their celebrity status has reached such heights, they’ve even been photographed on board a flight with Edinburgh based trade supplier, Stevenswood, and enjoyed a week-long holiday in Wales with software and IT specialist Windowlink UK – not to mention a VIP trip out to Derbyshire County Cricket Club. So, where will Mr & Mrs FIT end up between now and the opening of the FIT Show?
