Networking and Wider Connections

Professional Woodworking Expo is co located with InstallerSHOW and Painting & Decorating Show, giving visitors access to a wider built environment, interiors, installation and finishing audience.

The co location gives woodworking professionals the chance to follow the full journey from structure to final finish, discover cross trade solutions and make new connections across the wider project supply chain.

Nathan Garnett, Event Director for Professional Woodworking Expo, said: “This year marks the start of a new era for woodworking exhibitions in the UK. Alongside InstallerSHOW and Painting and Decorating Show, Professional Woodworking Expo creates a unique meeting point for the wider manufacturing, construction and interiors supply chain.

“By bringing woodworking, installation and finishing together under one roof, we reflect how projects are delivered in the real world while creating new opportunities for visitors and exhibitors alike.”

He added: “Professional Woodworking Expo is now an annual event, and we are committed to growing it year after year into the UK’s leading gathering for the woodworking industry.”

Professional Woodworking Expo is open from 10am to 5pm on Tuesday 23 and Wednesday 24 June, and from 10am to 4pm on Thursday 25 June.

Registration is open and visitors are encouraged to secure their free pass now and make the most of three days of sourcing, learning and networking at the NEC Birmingham.
