Wednesday 8th of September 2021 02:04 PM

The national trade show for the plumbing, heating and electrical industries is returning to Coventry Building Society Arena for its sixth year – and will be welcoming a special guest from the world of sport. 

InstallerSHOW will take place at the venue from Tuesday, 28 September to Thursday, 30 September and is set to attract thousands of installers from across the UK. 

This year the show welcomes former Arsenal and England football star Ray Parlour, who will be talking about his career on the InstallerPLAZA stage (sponsored by Glow-worm), and visiting exhibitors around the show. 

The show has grown significantly since it was launched in 2015 and, this year, it is expanding with 25 per cent more floor space to bring the number of exhibiting companies to over 150.

InstallerSHOW gives heating, plumbing, commercial engineering, renewable energy and electrical professionals the opportunity to meet with manufacturers and get hands-on with the latest cutting-edge industry technologies.

A Future Leaders initiative is also being launched at the show to identify and promote leaders and influencers who will be delivering low carbon targets and sustainability in the future. 

 This year also sees the launch of InstallerELECTRIC, which will feature a varied programme of seminars and hands-on demonstrations from manufacturers from across the electrical industry. 

InstallerSHOW takes place in the 6,000 square metre indoor arena at Coventry Building Society Arena which has recently undergone a major refurbishment, including improved ventilation.

Mike Costain, InstallerSHOW Event Director, said: “Heating, plumbing and electric professionals have worked tirelessly throughout the pandemic. This isn’t an industry that has stopped, and we’re expecting thousands from across the UK to join us this September. 

“It’s going to be our biggest ever event, with more attendees and exhibitors than before. We will be filling the entire main exhibition hall at Coventry Building Society Arena, which demonstrates how the event has grown over the last six years. 

“From installers and plumbers, to electricians and manufacturers, we’re proud to have grown into the go-to show for people working in these trades. 

“With so many of the industry’s top professionals joining us over the three days, it is a great opportunity to recognise the unsung heroes of the industry at our annual award ceremony – which has a focus on valuable community work. 

“To be returning to face-to-face events is fantastic for the industry and we’re looking forward to safely welcoming everyone this September.” 

Paul Michael, Commercial Director of Coventry Building Society Arena, said: "InstallerSHOW launched with us here and has gone from strength-to-strength. 

“It has been a great success at our venue over the past six years and this success has seen it outgrow the size of our venue and as a result move onto a new home for 2022.

"This year the show will be utilising the entirety of our indoor arena and is a great example of how Coventry Building Society Arena can facilitate the growth of shows over a number of years."
