Manchester Furniture Show
This year’s Manchester Furniture Show will take place from 14-17th July, and has already attracted a significant number of first-time exhibitors – Kingstown Furniture, Greenapple, Ideal Products and major European upholstery supplier Lyra Group among them.
Ideal Products’ MD Steve Jayes says: “As we looked to increase our market exposure, Manchester was the natural choice. It’s clear the organisers go the extra mile to attract the right buyers and create a fun, friendly show which fits perfectly with our way of doing business.”
With over 80% booked, the show will welcome companies including Morris Furniture, Baker Furniture, Ashley Manor, Buoyant, Harrison Bros, Whitemeadow, TCH, Lebus, Value Mark, La-Z-Boy, Furniture Origins, Wood Bros and Furmanac.
Buyers can look forward to seeing the new Alexander & James collection from Ashley Manor, a fresh painted bedroom range from Con-tempo, offers on four new ranges from IFD, and the new Martha’s Vineyard painted collection from SJS. TFW will show the Chateau Collection under the Waring & Gillow brand, while Wood Bros will launch a new division, Folio Furniture, presenting Folio’s first bedroom range in Manchester.
The show’s city centre location makes it a preferred event for many retailers who value its more relaxed atmosphere and manageable size.
