• We haven’t gone on holiday!!!

  Friday, January 29, 2010

  People may think that we have been on holiday for four months since the last Home Improvement Show in October 2009.  Well they are sadly mistaken.  

  It’s been a very busy few months as we pull together the new features for the 2010 show.   And don’t worry; the show will still be taking place at Earls Court just in case you heard that the venue might be bulldozed.

  But back to the good news…the show will be expanding for 2010 with more exhibitors, more features and following visitor feedback the doubling of the catering space to ensure that we can feed everyone in good time.  

  We’ll be announcing some of our experts shortly along with a taster of what is to come so why not sign up to the newsletter to keep posted with our activities.

• The National Home Improvement Show – What were your highlights?

  Friday, October 09, 2009

  Well it’s been a few days since the launch of The National Home Improvement Show and a very tired exhibition team are back in the office and returning to normality. After such a great first year the team are buzzing with excitement and are already working on ideas on how to make 2010 even bigger and better.

  One of my personal highlights were the TV experts. George, Julia, Matt and Michael who really put themselves out there at the show and their enthusiasm was infectious. The quality of discussions they had was fantastic.

  Then there were some fantastic innovative products. What about those study sofa beds? Or the portable bio stoves? Amazing!

  But that’s just my thoughts. I’d be interested to hear what you think so we can make 2010 even better. Please feel free to comment below. Roll on October 2010!

• National Home Improvement Show opens

  Friday, October 02, 2009

  Today (Friday 2 October) is the day when the first ever national home improvement show opens at Earls Court. (Picture of the entrance)

  The biggest names in home improvement (George, Julia, Michael, and Matt amongst others) have already arrived this morning and are having a quiet coffee before the door swing open at 10am.

  There is a sense of excitement around the show to see whether the Guinness Book of Records can be broken for the largest upholstered sofa chair when it is unveiled later today with our adjudicator from Guinness here to approve.

  A sneak preview to the theatre of light has revealed some very interesting concepts which would work in many homes without costing a fortune.

  Check back on the front page of the website later today when there will be a video highlighting the days activities.
