The latest figures from the British Furniture Association (BFA) show that more than 50% of the floorspace for its 2026 Furniture Component Expo has already been secured.
The annual event, which is being held for the third time next year, has also renewed partnership agreements with headline sponsors BeA Group and Carpenter, while Furniture & Joinery Production, the expo’s official media partner, returns to sponsor the seminar theatre and drinks reception.
The show enables manufacturers of cabinet, upholstery, beds and mattresses to review, network and purchase products from a variety of suppliers under one roof. The event’s ability to attract decisionmakers from across different furniture sectors, ensures "every conversation has the potential to open doors", says the BFA.
Phil Spademan, MD of the BFA, adds: “All signs are already pointing to our biggest year to date for the event, which fills a much-needed gap for the industry. This year we are also broadening the scope to include the kitchen and bathroom sector, contract furniture and interiors sector.
“We are delighted too that the show’s headline sponsors have renewed their agreements with us as we continue to develop and expand the expo.”
The show will take place at Telford Internation Centre on 11-12th March.
