2019 has been both hugely successful and challenging for FIT Show. Our 2019 showcase drew our biggest audience to date, and our exhibitors reported that the quality of leads driven surpassed previous years.

The May event coincided with our decision to revert FIT Show to an annual proposition – this is possibly one of the most challenging years to have made the decision due to the political uncertainty that we are facing but a crucial decision to make for the long term assured future of the show. People are naturally being cautious, but I would urge them to support FIT Show as a vital fixture in their marketing calendar. We are receiving a huge amount of interest from overseas companies who see the strength of the UK market, we want to see the same level of confidence from UK businesses. I believe that 2020 is going to be challenging, but we mustn’t stand still and talk ourselves into a state of stagnation – we’ve got to invest during these times and keep doing business. The demand from the consumer is still there and the necessity for regular comms with your client base more important than ever. Montgomery as a business faces difficulties across some brands but equally some of our niche events and launches seem poised for great success.
