Organisers announce a new proposition for INTERIORS UK
The organiser of Interiors UK have confirmed that the show is set to become The Furniture Show at May Design Series.
May Design Series 2014 will host close to 400 exhibitors right through from Furniture, Decor, Lighting, Kitchens, Bathrooms and DX. The Furniture Show at May Design Series 2014 will welcome a selection of INTERIORS UK 2014 exhibitors. The full relocation of exhibitors will be completed ready for the 2015 edition of the show. This new proposition will create the UK’s definitive international furnishings fair making a one-stop destination for new products, covering each interior space.
Interiors UK brand director at UBM Live Built Environment, Suzie Ager, explained: “Following detailed consultation with our customers we are evolving our proposition in order to best support this dynamic and vibrant industry, creating a prosperous future.
“By establishing a new format this signature event will provide manufacturers, suppliers and retailers – small and large, interiors designers and contract specifiers – a platform from which to grow their business now and for the future.”
This offering responds to extensive customer research revealing an overwhelming demand for a unifying large scale, international event attracting UK and international buyers and exhibitors. This union will give the UK interiors market an unrivalled platform for British companies to gain exposure to export markets at the right time of year, ready for retailers to procure in advance of the critical Autumn/Winter sales period.
The industry has expressed its support for the move. Jackie Bazeley, managing director of the British Furniture Manufacturers said: “The new format will provide a unique opportunity for the show to become the UK exhibition to attract overseas buyers. This opportunity will also support any export activity being undertaken by companies within the industry.”
May Design Series will run from the 18-20 May at London ExCel.
