Following its successful début in 2023, this initiative once again aims to recognise and reward the next generation of industry leaders—those who are pushing boundaries, driving innovation, and making a real difference in their field.

From product design and development to marketing, HR, apprenticeships, installation, and management, we want to highlight the individuals who are excelling in all areas of fenestration. Whether they are fitters, innovators on the shop floor, trainees, managers, or directors, we invite you to nominate the industry’s future leaders.

FIT Show event director, Nickie West said, “We’re thrilled to be bringing our 30 Under 30 campaign, in conjunction with Windows Active, back for FIT Show 2025 after its hugely successful debut at FIT Show 2023. We’re hoping to build on the success of the launch campaign, which saw a high number and broad mix of entries.

“FIT show is proud to shine a spotlight on the next generation of superstars. We have long championed the importance of encouraging grass-roots, attracting and nurturing new talent and helping to bridge the skills gap – 30 Under 30 allows us to do just that! I’m excited to see this year’s entries, and to announce and reward the final 30 at FIT Show 2025.”

The Visionaries Behind EXPO360

EXPO360, the brains behind FIT Show 360’s launch pilot, is led by former BBC, SKY, and ITV program maker, Alan Tisch. His visit to FIT Show in 2018 inspired the creation of a virtual replica of the event, designed to extend the value of the three-day exhibition.

Speaking about the launch, Alan Tisch commented: “With many clients in the fenestration industry, my first experience of large-scale exhibitions came when I attended FIT Show in 2018. I was blown away by the huge scale of the event and size of the stands, but also realized what a huge investment exhibitions are in both time and money.”

“I saw an opportunity for a real-world digital twin of the event to allow people to freely walk around from any device anywhere in the world. EXPO360 has been designed to increase the shelf life of exhibitions, as well as creating an opportunity for those who missed an event to go back and explore it in the virtual world.”
