Nineteen Group has acquired FIT Show from Montgomery Group, adding the UK’s leading dedicated trade event for the windows, doors and glazing industry to its established portfolio of events serving the built environment.
FIT Show brings together manufacturers, suppliers, installers, architects, specifiers, builders and developers, showcasing the latest products, materials, machinery and technology across the windows, doors and glazing sector. The event attracts around 10,000 visitors and more than 200 brands, with the next edition taking place at the NEC Birmingham from 18–20th May 2027.
The acquisition strengthens one of the most extensive built environment event portfolios in the industry. Nineteen Group’s UK events include InstallerSHOW, Painting & Decorating Show, Professional Woodworking Expo and PlantWorx, alongside London Build.
Internationally, the Group’s construction portfolio includes New York Build, Chicago Build, Sydney Build, Melbourne Build and the recently launched Miami Build, giving Nineteen a growing presence across major construction markets in the UK, United States and Australia.
The acquisition also builds on Nineteen Group’s relationship with Montgomery Group, following the acquisition of Professional Woodworking Expo earlier this year.
FIT Show will retain members of its existing team as it moves into Nineteen Group, providing continuity for exhibitors, partners and visitors. Their knowledge of the sector, the event and the community that has grown around FIT Show will remain an important part of its next chapter, alongside the wider resources and expertise of Nineteen Group.
"FIT Show has earned a loyal following across the windows, doors and glazing industry, and we’re proud to welcome it into Nineteen Group," says Michael Costain
Managing Director, Nineteen Group. "It complements our existing events naturally, connecting the people who make, supply and install windows and doors with the wider construction and interiors community we already serve.
"Our focus is on working with the team, exhibitors and partners to make sure FIT Show keeps delivering for the fabricators, installers, manufacturers and specifiers who rely on it."
