Key Sector
Other companies in the roofing industry signed up
to exhibit at this year’s Build Show include
Manthorpe Building Products, Icopal, Klober,
Grofuel, HS Direct, I-Tec Flat Roofing, Leica
Geosystems, and Ubbink UK to name but a few.
Nathan Garnett, Event Director for the Build
Show, added: “The NFRC Pavilion is set to be a
hive of activity with so many big brands signed up
and I can’t wait to see all that they have on
display. The roofing sector is such a key part of
the construction industry and I’m so pleased that
we have been able to provide a dedicated zone for
professionals in this area.
The UK’s build community will once again come together for this year’s Build Show,
being held as part of the award winning UK Construction Week from 18-20 October at the
Birmingham NEC.
Building on the success of last year’s show, which attracted visitors with a combined
purchasing power of £36 billion, Build Show will return with many of the industry’s
biggest names in attendance. The show provides the industry with a space to network,
develop and grow – bringing together the right people, in the right place, at the right time.
This year’s event promises to be the most comprehensive exhibition in decades with
hundreds of exhibitors and several unique feature areas.
As well as forging new business opportunities and sourcing new products, Build Show
plays an important role in cultivating debates and solutions to issues holding the industry
back. Discussions will be supported by industry-leading trade associations such as the
Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), TRADA, the Builders Merchants Federation
(BMF), the Construction Products Association (CPA), the Chartered Institute of Builders
(CIOB) – and the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC) who will all be in
attendance.
The NFRC will have its very own dedicated roofing pavilion hosted at the show in
October. Creating a strong roofing products and service sector at the Build Show, the
NFRC pavilion is not to be missed and will host some of the biggest names in the industry
including Kingspan Insulated Panels, Fixfast, Quinn Building Products, Topseal, IKO
Polymeric and Proctor Group.
The partnership will enable NFRC supplier members to benefit from a unique shared
branded presence and access to an active audience of buyers and specifiers at the show.
The location of the pavilion is also ideal, situated close to the Home Building Theatre and
the Business Advice Centre.
James Talman, Chief Executive at the NFRC, commented: “We are pleased to support the
Build Show as part of UK Construction Week and to showcase standards and excellence in
our sector. The exhibition provides our sector with a great platform for our members and
“The show will be a fantastic opportunity to not
only meet prospective buyers but to host and treat
existing customers too with a wide variety of
facilities available including a casino night, a beer
and ale festival, industry award ceremonies and
networking events.”
