The British Hardware and Housewares Manufacturers’ Association (BHHMA) is looking for UK companies to join it at the home improvement trade show Practical World in Cologne in March next year.

The association has secured space in two halls at the show and says UK companies can take advantage of full SESA (Support for Exhibitions and Seminars Abroad) grants if they submit applications before January 9.

BHHMA’s DIY director Phil Slinger said companies had to make a decision this year adding: “We operate on a first come, first served basis for pavilion positions.”
