The British Furniture Manufacturers’ (BFM) component trade show has been given a seal of approval after Vita Group, BeA Group and Carpenter all renewed sponsorship of the event for 2025.
Building on the success of its inaugural Furniture Component Expo (FCE), the BFM is already planning the next instalment which takes place at Telford International Centre on 19-20th March next year.
The one-stop-shop expo allows manufacturers to review and purchase products across the whole furniture supply chain from leading suppliers.
A first for the industry, the initial event, held in April, provided opportunities for delegates to explore products, network, gain industry insights and more.
BFM MD Phil Spademan says: “FCE is all about backing British furniture manufacturing and it was made possible through the support of our headline sponsors Vita Group and BeA Group along with registration sponsor Carpenter Ltd.
“We are delighted that they have recognised the value that FCE brought to the industry and have confirmed their support for next year’s event.
“We’ve had positive responses from visitors and exhibitors across the furniture manufacturing and supply chain sectors, and we’re delighted that the expo has been so well received.
“With 60% of the floorplan already sold for 2025, we encourage people to make an enquiry now to avoid disappointment. All aspects of the furniture supply chain are welcome, including fabric suppliers, large or small machinery, kitchen and cabinet component manufacturers.
“There are new sponsorship opportunities for companies to elevate their brand visibility and seminar slots to engage directly with a buying audience.”
