22 JANUARY 2016 PRO INSTALLER PRO NEWS www.proinstaller.co.uk FUTURE FIT SHOW DATES AND VENUE ANNOUNCED Window, Door and Conservatory Trade event moves to NEC in 2017 FIT Events Ltd, organisers of The Fabricator Installer Trade (FIT) Show has announced the dates and venue of events to take place after 2016. Colouring the Easy Way Colouredplas is an exciting new colour spray and processing company, primarily aimed at selling products direct to the glass and glazing industry. Managing Director, Allan Moore took the decision to set up the business over twelve months ago due to the increase demand he was experiencing through a sister company, who colour all type of glass products. Allan explains: “I have worked in the Fenestration industry for nearly 30 years, fabricating and fitting windows and doors, cutting and manufacturing glass products, repairing and maintaining all areas of glass, windows and doors, and I have seen trends grow through the development of technologies and innovation. “Colouring of PVCu and glass products has seen a massive explosion and uptake from the consumer over recent years, because of the need to make their homes look and feel unique. Technology advancements in paints and sprays from the paint manufacturers have also driven the ability for businesses to offer the consumer more and more colours for their homes than ever before. “Although still in its infancy, Colouredplas has been borne out of the need to service the demand for PVCu products, along with my desire to service the industry and consumers with a range of products that they can order at the touch of a button,” Allan adds. What Allan is describing is the development of the company’s new shopping website - www. colouredplas.co.uk. Already familiar with the needs of coloured products and selling online, Allan has developed a shopping facility, which can be used by trade to select any type of PVC building product coloured in any colour, delivered anywhere in the UK within 7 days. www.colouredplas.co.uk From 2017, The FIT Show moves to the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) Birmingham, the UK’s premier exhibition venue, taking place in Halls 6 and 7. May 23rd, 24th and 25th have been chosen for 2017, with the following FIT Show to take place two years later at the same venue on 21st, 22nd and 23rd May 2019. The decision to move to the NEC comes after extensive research to find another venue as the event had outgrown its orig- inal Telford location. A spokesman for the organisers said: “A move was inevitable to handle the continuing demand for exhibition space and to allow the development of the event generally, including visitor numbers. For now however, our focus and priority in every respect remains the April 2016 FIT Show which takes place at The International Centre Telford on 12th, 13th and 14th April.” The Fabricator Installer Trade (FIT) Show takes place at The International Centre Telford on 12th, 13th 14th April 2016.
