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