There’s not long to go before the P&D Show opens its doors in Coventry to thousands of stockists and decorators keen to see all that’s newest and best in this vibrant industry.
Declaring that there is “something for everyone at this year’s main event”, the show organisers say that a busy day awaits all visitors: “Whatever your interest – product innovation from over 100 companies, best practice, or just the chance to chat to current and potential suppliers and clients alike – there will be something for merchants at the show.”
Spanning the decorating spectrum from paints and wallcoverings, tools and sundries to woodcare and decorative effects, every year the show “buzzes with product launches” and as the P&D trade’s major national hub, the event also provides an opportunity for a number of merchants to also set out their offers to trade visitors. Among stockists exhibiting this year are Brewers, CDC, DDC, London Decorators Merchants, and Paintwell.
A favourite show attraction are the Masterclass presentations. These offer a packed programme of not-to-be-missed demonstrations of the latest products, innovations and application techniques. Among the contributors are RepairCare, showing how to achieve fast durable and cost effective timber repairs; Kolorbond, giving the lowdown on how to repaint UPVC; an introduction from the upmarket brand Paint & Paper Library on its new finishes, while Coo-Var looks at anti-slip coatings and how they can help create an attractive but safe surface.
Top brands sponsoring the 28th staging of the event include Repair Care, Mirka, Shurtape, Olfa Tools,Gyproc ,Tesa, and Packexe.
The National Painting and Decorating Show takes place at the CBS Arena, Coventry over 22/23 November.
