Another record breaking exhibition for Screwfix as thousands attended Screwfix Live 2016

Now in its fourth year, Screwfix LIVE welcomed thousands more visitors to the annual exhibition this year. The event, which took place between 30 September and 2 October at the Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre, broke records in terms of both visitor numbers and exhibitors.

Over 135 top brands were showcasing their latest products to tradespeople, serious DIY enthusiasts and their families. Fun and innovation were the order of the weekend with live product demonstrations, competitions and lots of show deals and giveaways. Celebrity faces included football legend Chris Kamara assisting with Screwfix’s football challenge, ‘Back of the Van’, ex-footballer Jimmy Bullard supporting Armstead Trade Paints and even the Dulux Dog made a personal appearance!

A huge range of categories were showcased including power tools, painting and decorating and work wear, to electrical and plumbing essentials.

Andrew Livingston, CEO of Screwfix comments: “We’ve had fantastic success with Screwfix LIVE for the past four years now and I’m delighted that we’ve had another record breaking year in Farnborough. Screwfix LIVE is about bringing customers, suppliers and staff together.  If we’ve learned anything in the last four years it’s that this setting is invaluable to the trade and DIY enthusiasts.

This annual event has exceeded our expectations at all levels and I could not be more proud of our staff.”
