Nick Noble, commercial & events director at Future PLC, comments: “It will be great to bring the Show back in Scotland. We are looking forward to welcoming serious self-builders and home renovators, who see their home as their number one asset.

“The trend for self-build and home improvements continues post-lockdown and the recent increase in interest rates has resulted in many homeowners choosing to improve their home rather than move.

“Whether you’re mid-way through a project or don’t know where to start, the Homebuilding & Renovating Show is brimming with advice and ideas. It’s a unique opportunity to swap months of scouring the internet for face-to-face consultations, attend specialist Masterclasses and discover the latest products and services – all under one roof.

“Visitors attending our show can source products and services that are not available elsewhere and have the opportunity to obtain free advice from experts including Michael Holmes and Allan Corfield.

“The show provides businesses with a fast-track opportunity to connect face to face with consumers who are planning substantial investment in their home. Visitors, with their combination of live projects and substantial budgets, provides exhibitors with the opportunity to open new commercial streams and significant ROI.  There’s been strong demand for stand space and time for companies to secure their spot at the May 2023 show.”

The organisers of the Show be raising funds for My Name’5 Doddie, the MND Foundation set up by Doddie Weir, a fondly remembered exhibitor at the show.
