43 PRO INSTALLER OCTOBER 2013 PRO EVENTS @proinstaller1 BIGGEST BRANDS ABUNDANT AGAIN Far from being a ‘Godfather Part III’ or ‘Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’, the next instalment of the Fabricator Installer Trade (FIT) Show is already shaping up to be a sequel that lives up to the excellence of its predecessor, with more than 70% of exhibition space already under contract 9 months ahead of the event which takes place in June 2014. Demand for exhibition space in 2014 ensued before this year’s event had concluded and has continued ‘70% of exhibition space already under contract 9 months ahead of the event’ ever since with a host of returning exhibitors and new faces racing to secure their spot within The International Centre, Telford, for the event due to be held from 10-12 June. The promotional campaign of FIT 2014 is well underway, designed to create the sort of buzz that characterised the launch event. Christened ‘The Next Installation’, a movie-esque inspired micro-site for the event is now live featuring representatives from many of the companies set to be involved. Any companies interested in booking a stand should contact sales director Jason Wootton on 07854 131050 or have a look at the remaining options by going to the web site, which has full details of locations and pricing at http://www.fit2014.co.uk/.

Send your business annoyances to [email protected] Nominated for G-Award Roseview Windows, the specialist uPVC vertical sliding sash window fabricator, has been nominated for a G-Award for its commitment to innovation and product development. Roseview’s newly launched high performance sash window, the Ultimate Rose, is up for New Product of the Year, an allnew category for the long established event. According to the event organisers this category recognises an “outstanding new product that will make major inroads to improving overall building performance, as well as making significant contributions to the company balance sheet.” Roseview is the only specialist sash window fabricator to receive a nomination this year and they will be joining companies such as REHAU, Veka, Mila, Pilkington and Saint Gobain, all of whom are finalists for the same category having launched new products in the last 12 months. Independently owned Roseview will clearly be facing some stiff competition, but nevertheless managing director Willie Kerr is looking forward to the night. Willie commented: “2013 has been a year of real innovation, you only had to walk around the FIT Show to see wealth of stunning new products on show, so it’s a real honour to be nominated for the New Product of the Year.” For more information on Roseview call on 0844 870 7178 or visit www.roseviewwindows. co.uk
