Big Tuesday’s back
April 2017

FIT Show exhibitors are making plans to ensure that the evening of ‘BIG Tuesday’ will be a memorable one.

With opening extended to 8pm, visitors to this year’s show will be able to mix business with pleasure with to everything from champagne receptions to ‘80s themed discos, anniversary celebrations and even a pub quiz and ballet dancing performance once the exhibition begins to unwind after 5pm.

Companies such as Victorian Sliders, Veka and The Camden Group will be offering visitors drinks and nibbles, with Swisspacer UK laying on a champagne reception, Iceni Windows serving pizza, Prosecco and beer; ECI offering an assortment of Irish whiskey and Yale Door and Window Solutions giving out cocktails from a gin bar.

A number of companies will also be taking advantage of the atmosphere to celebrate anniversaries. Stevenswood will be hosting a party to mark its 20th year in business, Selecta Systems will be welcoming all-comers to its 35th birthday with an ‘80s and ‘90s disco and Advance70 Ice Bar, while both Roseview and the Glass & Glazing Federation will be celebrating 40th anniversaries.

The likes of Ultraframe and the Synseal Group will also be inviting guests onto their stands on the evening of Big Tuesday, while others such as RegaLead, The Georgian Bar Company and KAT UK, will all be enjoying a blast from the past with 1980s themed parties. 

There will also be a competitive element to the proceedings, with The Window Company Contracts (UK) announcing the winner of a Makita on-site battery powered radio and AluK challenging visitors and exhibitors alike to take on its team of ‘AluK Experts’ in the Big FIT Show Quiz. Sika will also be offering prizes for ‘gunning out’ the straightest line with one of its specialist adhesive dispensers, although visitors might be advised to attempt this before venturing onto the drinks parties elsewhere in the show! 

OnLevel will feature performances from Dutch ballet dancer, Nathalie Hombergh, and close-up magician, Robert Ellams.
