INTRODUCTION
The January Furniture Show team has worked incredibly hard to develop an event that will meet the expectations of both visitors and exhibitors alike, which is no mean feat. When SMG was asked to consult on the development of a flooring showcase a couple of years ago, we hoped that it would be embraced by the industry and are delighted that it has been a success. This year it promises to be a great event that will represent the best of the furnishings industry and a massive draw for all professional retailers across the UK. Its historic January timing couldn’t be more perfect and being located at the NEC makes it a very easy event to attend, there’s even a Sunday opening. The Flooring Showcase is a Who’s Who of the best manufacturers and suppliers in the UK flooring industry. With more than 20 of the best suppliers it is an event that is relevant to traditional flooring retailers and furniture retailers with a flooring department as you will see class leading products in carpet, rugs, underlay, vinyl, wood and accessories. While some products will be familiar, many suppliers will be using The Flooring Showcase as a springboard for new products and this will give visitors a distinct advantage over their competitors. Many retailers with established flooring departments will be thinking of diversifying their offering and the January Furniture Show is an ideal opportunity to see a host of companies representing the best of the furnishings industry as well as spending some quality time with the top flooring suppliers. For retailers who are thinking of joining a buying group, or at least want to find out more, SMG will of course be on The Flooring Showcase. We are proud to have been voted Best Business Support winner by readers of Interiors Monthly and our industry specialised Business Support Membership will suit all retailers visiting the January Furniture Show and deliver savings across your back-office. If you have a flooring department, the full SMG membership is guaranteed to increase your profitability. I hope you will join us in making the show a success and add it as a regular event in your diary. Visit: www.smg-group.co.uk
