The SWFMARF Furniture Show, held at Junction 24 in Bridgwater in September, proved "a fantastic event for members, guests and exhibitors alike", reports the federation behind the exhibition.
"The event was full of energy, showcasing an incredible range of furniture and ideas, and gave everyone the perfect chance to network, catch up, and see what’s new in the industry.
"Our visitor numbers were increased again, resulting in a growth for the last three years of both exhibitors and visitors which, in the current climate, is extremely pleasing, and rewards our efforts in organising the show.
"A big thank you to everyone who took part in our raffle! Congratulations to our lucky winners. We hope you thoroughly enjoy your prizes!
"And it was wonderful to see some new faces at the SWFMARF show. We’ve received some lovely feedback."
One member shared: “Thank you for making me feel so welcome – it’s been a great start, and I’m excited to be part of the group.”
Daffyd Davies from Davies and Davies in Llandysul commented: “It was nice to see the show being well supported again, it deserves it. Organised and run by some great people, with some great products on offer”.
Sue Calladine, MD of Bedrock Furniture, commented: "It's great to have a show right here in the South West – easy to get to, relaxed atmosphere, and a really nice mix of products to view – especially with the added bonus of winner a hamper just for turning up!"
The SWFMARF concludes: "With such a strong start to the season, we can’t wait to share more events, shows, and socials with you all. If you’d like to become a member please head to our website and click on ‘Join us'.
