Debut exhibitors broaden The Manchester Furniture Show’s appeal but the industry’s most important summer buying platform remains central to all categories of furniture buyer both retail and contract.
It speaks volumes for the enduring appeal of the Manchester Furniture Show that it continues to attract new exhibitors, with this year’s roster boosted by the best of home and abroad. Taking place from July 13 – 16 a host of newcomers will join the ranks of many firm favourites.
This July’s event again boasts an impressive exhibitor roster, including some major debuts like Westbridge Furniture Designs, one of the largest manufacturers in the UK home furnishings sector.
Five years on from launching into the independents sector, the North Wales based company will preview a brand new upholstery collection which existing and new customers will see for the first time.
Britain has enjoyed its own renaissance in upholstery in recent years, and will see the strong-performing Ashley Manor business flying the flag for British brands along with Airsprung owned Cavendish Upholstery and major upholstery supplier Buoyant with their new Gallery Collection.
Top-brand recliner company La-Z-Boy will also be among the headline acts in upholstery. After the successful launch of its new Inspirations Collection, they will be boosting their core Comfort Studio range with the launch of three new reclining products.
Just as the city of Manchester has bloomed into one of Europe’s finest, so too has the industry’s lead annual summer trade show.
Cabinet is a Manchester strength: Popular British brands such as Corndell have again committed to exhibiting alongside the likes of the Morris Group, a longtime exhibitor that will show new ranges across its full gamut of marques.
Kingstown – One of Britain’s manufacturing success stories of recent years and among the largest to boot – builds on the foundations of what makes Manchester special: a best of British core with an outward looking and international perspective.
