The UK-based NMBS Exhibition targets independent building, timber, plumbing and hardware merchants. This year’s edition will take place on 10 and 11 April at the Coventry Building Society Arena. This industry event provides an invaluable platform for merchants to connect with leading manufacturers and distributors in a dynamic yet informal setting. With exclusive exhibition rebates, discounts and promotions available only to attending NMBS members, the event ensures significant purchasing advantages.
Building on the success of 2024, which featured 280 exhibitors and attracted over 1,100 member attendees, NMBS 2025 promises another year of productive networking and deal-making. Last year, members benefited from up to 15% exhibition rebates, with over 15,000 interactions recorded between members and exhibitors. With doors open from 8:30am to 4pm on 10 April and until 2pm on 11 April, attendees can expect a packed schedule of business opportunities and exclusive offers.
