London Furniture Show Postponed Until 2010

Furniture World Magazine

Further to discussions with its key exhibitors, Insight Exhibitions announced that it has decided to postpone the launch of the new London Furniture Show. As everyone in the industry is aware, the current economic downturn is having a major effect on furniture manufacturers and retailers. Insight is very much aware of the difficulties its committed and potential exhibitors are currently facing and in the light of this the decision has been made to reschedule the show in 2010. David Wilkins, Managing Director, Insight Exhibitions says: “Having been in constant communication with my principle exhibitors, the impact of the ‘credit crunch’ on the furniture sector has been painfully obvious. Whilst they and I are convinced that a new London-centric, Furniture Show is very much needed, its timing is vitally important. With business predicted to get worse before it gets better, it is just plain common sense for us to re-think when best to launch a brand new show. With the full support of those manufacturers that have already signed up, this will now be May 2010.” For more information contact Charlotte@insightexhibitions.com.
