The annual DIY & Garden Show next January is promising to be the biggest for four years with numbers of both UK and overseas exhibitors on the increase.

Companies exhibiting at the January 16-18 event inside London’s Earls Court 2 include coatings manufacturer Akzo Nobel, Ronseal, Laserfix, power tools supplier Einhell UK and Freud Tooling UK.

Paul Grinsell, show sales director, said: “We’re seeing an increase in the number of UK suppliers wanting to take the initiative and meet buyers face-to-face at the show, and also from overseas companies targeting the UK market in the first non-Cologne year.”
