Industry show 's move to NEC heralds 'new era '
NEC Birmingham will open its doors for the first time to InstallerSHOW, the UK 's largest plumbing, heating and electric trade show.
Running from Tuesday until Thursday, InstallerSHOW will welcome around 300 manufacturers, 100 speakers and an estimated 10,000 visitors.
Previously held in Coventry, organisers say the move to a larger venue reflects the transformation the plumbing, heating and electrical industry is currently undertaking.
This year 's event will have a specific focus on the practical steps the industry can take now for a more sustainable future. Leading the change are a number of local manufacturers, including Worcester Bosch, one of the UK 's largest heating manufacturers.
Ian Taylor, managing director, Conventions and Exhibitions, NEC Group, said: “It 's clear that a shift change towards a more sustainable future is necessary, and the organisers of InstallerSHOW are pivotal to this change.
“Birmingham is brimming with talented companies in this sector, who, whilst locally located, are contributing to the wider national movement to reduce our carbon footprint.
“Bringing the show to the NEC will create a positive trading environment for sharing expertise and ideas in this area across the heating and energy community. ”
