Ireland’s essential furniture showcase

The IFHS, which returns to Dublin’s National Indoor Arena from 2nd-4th July, is Ireland’s premier furniture and homewares trade show, and gives businesses from Ireland and the UK the opportunity to trade in a relaxed environment …

Hosted in a new location, the National Indoor Arena in Blanchardstown, Dublin, the IFHS says it is taking how the furniture industry does business in Ireland “to the next level”, adding: “This is the ideal event for everyone in the industry wishing to see new products, discover innovative ideas and avail of exclusive deals and discounts from the companies on show – all under one roof!” www.ifhs-tradeshow.ie

The IFHS offers a representative selection of the wide variety of furniture and homewares available in Ireland. With the show being the only one of its kind in the country, it is attended by the lion’s share of its top furniture suppliers and businesses, and will once again host the event’s Furniture and Home Awards, offering exhibitors and visitors further opportunity to connect in a relaxed environment.

“Established in 2016 to celebrate and recognise the enormous efforts made by exhibitors in our industry, the awards give them the opportunity to gain industry recognition – for those presenting the best in innovation, the biggest trends and freshest styles at the IFHS, there is a range of awards to be won, alongside two Retailer’s Choice Awards (Best Wholesale Supplier and Best Sales Rep),” states the show’s organiser.

“The sales reps are the face of our industry, the people on the ground, and they can be the difference between success and failure. This award celebrates and acknowledges the hard work and drive of these people, working rain or shine each day, building relationships with customers and propelling companies onward and upward.

“The Retailer’s Choice Awards are voted for by retailers attending the show during the registration process, and will be announced at the event.” Visit the IFHS website to find out more about last year’s winners.

At its heart, IFHS brings together major suppliers of upholstery, dining, bedding, cabinet and accessories, giving buyers an opportunity to effectively plan for the year ahead – and to see the upcoming trends. Exhibiting at the show gives suppliers access to a large number of customers under one roof. “The remaining spaces are filling up fast, but if you want to showcase your furniture or homeware products to over 1000 Irish trade buyer attendees this summer, contact event manager Aisling on 00353 8385 76794, or email aisling@ifhs-tradeshow.ie,” concludes the organiser.
