The Timber Zone at Interbuild will be bigger this year, and the stand area in Hall 5 of the NEC in Birmingham is already more than 50% booked.

As last year, the Zone will be a focus for suppliers of timber, wood products and associated goods and services, plus timber frame specialists.

TRADA will be running a full seminar programme throughout the show in the Zone’s own theatre are in Hall 5 of the NEC.

The Timber Zone organisers report that both Glenalmond Timber and Covers have doubled the size of their stands, and other well-known names have also taken space.

Interbuild takes place at the NEC from October 26-30. This year the exhibition also overlaps with WMSA‘s W8 wood processing technology exhibition, which runs from October 26-29.

Interbuild is also launching its own merchants awards this year, with each visitor to last year’s event entitled to nominate a business or branch on the basis of service, product offering and technical knowledge.
