Timber Expo Pre-Registration figures are up 23% compared to 2012 on the like-for-like period.
As green shoots appear in the UK economy and confidence begins to grow across the construction sector, visitor numbers for this year’s show are set to top 5,000 over two days.
Feedback on the relocation to the Birmingham NEC has been amazing! Add to this the increase in new exhibitors from all over the world, a wealth of new products and technologies on show and an exceptional line-up of speakers at the Timber Talks programme and Timber Expo has fired imaginations and grabbed the attention of built environment professionals everywhere.
With only a few days to go before doors open for business the Timber Expo team and exhibitors are getting ready for what promises to be the best show yet.
