Now In At Nineteen
The FIT Show is joining a portfolio of complimentary events as it has been acquired by Nineteen Group, ahead of its next outing in 2027 at NEC Birmingham.
Nineteen Group organises over 50 events globally across 17 different sectors.
Nineteen Group’s UK events include InstallerSHOW, Painting & Decorating Show, Professional Woodworking Expo and PlantWorx, alongside London Build.
Internationally, the Group’s construction portfolio includes New York Build, Chicago Build, Sydney Build, Melbourne Build and the recently launched Miami Build, giving Nineteen a growing presence across major construction markets in the UK, United States and Australia.
The acquisition also builds on Nineteen Group’s relationship with Montgomery Group (the former owners of FIT Show), following the acquisition of Professional Woodworking Expo earlier this year. Nineteen Group has been on a recent acquisition trail, having bought PlantWorx in June of this year.
FIT Show will retain members of its existing team, providing continuity for exhibitors, partners and visitors.
What they had to say
Michael Costain, Managing Director, Nineteen Group, said: “FIT Show complements our existing events, connecting the people who make, supply and install windows and doors with the wider construction and interiors community we already serve. Our focus is on working with the team, exhibitors and partners to make sure FIT Show keeps delivering for the fabricators, installers, manufacturers and specifiers who rely on it.”
Damion Angus, Managing Director, Montgomery Group, said: “FIT Show has a fantastic community behind it, from the manufacturers and suppliers exhibiting at the event to the installers, specifiers and other industry professionals who attend. I’m excited about what this next chapter brings and look forward to working with the Nineteen team, our exhibitors and partners to build on what FIT Show already does so well.”
Nickie West, Event Director, FIT Show, said: “The acquisition is the latest step in Nineteen Group’s expansion across specialist B2B events, combining the development of its established portfolio with targeted acquisitions in sectors where it sees opportunities for growth. By bringing FIT Show into its portfolio, Nineteen Group now spans every stage of the building supply chain, from manufacturing and fabrication through to installation and finishing.”
FIT Show 2027 takes place from 18-20 May 2027 at the NEC Birmingham.
