A new era for the Harrogate Flooring Show begins in 2012 as Wendy Adams takes over as event director. To be held from September 2-4 at the Harrogate International Centre, the event is supported by many of the flooring industry’s leading names.

Momentum is growing for this ‘must attend event’, says Wendy Adams, who has been involved with the show since 2009, working with David Wildman.

Meanwhile, Wendy told CFJ: ‘We have received great support from exhibitors and visitors alike over the past two years and we look forward to building on this and delivering a fantastic show in 2012.
‘Despite the difficult economic times we are facing we are delighted to be welcoming back many key names to the show. This show has firmly cemented itself on the flooring industry’s calendar and we bucked the trend of many exhibitions by increasing our visitor numbers in 2011.
‘This year promises to see another exciting event and over the next few months we will be announcing more names and features at the show’. Returning for 2012 will be the popular demonstration stage, again in Hall B.
