The NMBS Exhibition, the UK’s leading exhibition for independent building, timber, plumbing and hardware merchants, will take place on 10–11 April 2024 at the Coventry Building Society Arena.
Last year’s event achieved record numbers, welcoming more than 280 exhibitors, 558 independent merchant member companies, and 1,084 visitors through the Coventry Building Society Arena doors.
Visitors will be able to see all the buying group's major suppliers, with a large range of them offering substantial extra discounts, promotions and special rebate offers that are only available to those who attend and place orders during the exhibition.
Chris Hayward, Chief Executive Officer at NMBS, said: “Our merchant members earned over £2.5 million in exhibition rebate from purchases made during the 2023 exhibition alone. The NMBS Exhibition is an unmissable opportunity for independent merchants and suppliers to come together to take advantage of deals, offers and networking opportunities.”
The NMBS Exhibition App will also be relaunched at the event. It will help speed up the ordering process, collect member data and support commercial connections.
At the end of the first day, NMBS will be hosting its annual Gala Dinner. This year’s entertainer has yet to be named, with previous years bringing Michael McIntyre, Harry Redknapp, and Frank Bruno to the stage.
