Montgomery Group celebrates 130th anniversary

Global independent event organiser, Montgomery Group, who organise the Professional Woodworking Expo and FIT Show amongst others, is marking its 130th anniversary this year with a series of special events and celebrations.

With a legacy spanning more than a century, Montgomery Group has built a reputation for connecting industries, driving innovation, and creating commercial opportunities across a diverse portfolio of sectors.

Professional Woodworking Expo offers a fresh, dedicated space for woodworking professionals and businesses to meet, learn, and grow. And FIT Show, the UK’s only dedicated event for the window, door, flat glass, and hardware sector, continues to be a key platform for installers, fabricators, and suppliers. Surface Design Show leads the way in spotlighting the latest surface materials, trends, and design-led innovation.

Looking ahead

Reflecting on this milestone year, Group Managing Director and Chairman Damion Angus said: “Over the last 130 years, Montgomery Group has proudly connected professionals across a wide spectrum of industries. Events like FIT Show, Surface Design Show, and Professional Woodworking Expo, underline our commitment to serving the built environment, championing innovation, and giving businesses a space to thrive. As we celebrate this important anniversary, we’re looking ahead to the next chapter with energy, ambition, and a continued focus on delivering meaningful, future-facing events.”
