May 2024 | Launch show review - Flooring takes a step forward
New to the INDX trade show calendar for 2024, the INDX National Flooring Show (previously the BGNFS), took place 30 April – 1 May 2024, attracting independent retailers to Cranmore Park for a sell-out show across two ground floor exhibition spaces.
In partnership with flooring buying groups including ACG, AIS Flooring One, Bond Retail Marketing, Carpet 1st, Greendale, and SMG, this flagship flooring event brought together the best of European suppliers under one roof.
Flooring giants carpeted the showroom with a range of products, treating attendees to an unparalleled selection of luxurious carpets, rugs, underlays and accessories, as well as sleek laminates, woods, vinyl, and LVT’s.
The show saw the return of firm favourites including Alternative Flooring, CPS Group, Moduleo, Stairrods, Telenzo Carpets, and WoolSafe, whilst rolling out the red carpet for an array of exciting new exhibitors: Causeway Carpets, Floorify, Floorwise Group, Footfall, ITC, Jaspa Woven, Kellars, Kleen-Tex Industries, Lamett Europe, Melrose Interiors, Riviera, RoomVo, Tarkett, and Walton & Co.
Admission to this year's show was extended to include all independent retailers and the two-day show was visited by both Buying Group Members and flooring stockists from all around the UK, enticed by a showcase of exclusive products from sought-after labels.
The energy in the showroom was high, with attendees swapping industry insights over lively networking drinks, and the Barista Bar (sponsored by Kellars) was buzzing with industry buying activity. Further highlights included a raffle and secret auction hosted by Kidderminster Carpet Manufacturers.
“It was a buoyant show with interesting and engaging conversations - We got a chance to understand the end user requirements better through meeting them direct here.” Ranjit Aujla, Footfall UK
“A very good show going in the right direction.” Stephen Kaye, Associated Weavers
"It was a great environment for meeting people and the new prospects that we saw were very enthusiastic.” Helen Marshall, Walton & Co
