TRADA/Radar Communications, which organises Timber Expo, are believed to have been speaking with Huddlestone Events, which runs Working with Wood, since last year about exploring synergies between their events.
"The move of Timber Expo in 2013 is a major stepping stone for the show, but the collaboration with W14 in 2014 will add a further dynamic and permit visitors to both shows to maximise their time investment," said Loretta Sales, Timber Expo event director.
"Both shows obviously have their unique focus in the industry – W14 is the UK event for the joinery and furniture manufacturing industries and Timber Expo provides the focal point for specifiers, engineers and architects focusing on sustainable applications for timber technology in the built environment," said Angela McGowan, W14 exhibition director.
