See for what our exhibitors say about Surface Design Show:

"This year was the first time we showcased Nike Grind at Surface Design Show.
We found the show had great energy and high visitor traffic. The mix of designers, architects and contractors made our participation worthwhile."
Nathalie Van’tKlooster, KEK Site (Nike Grind)

"The biggest selling point to the show is the location due to architects and interiors designers being on the door step. Relaxed, informal, and a good quality of visitor.  We have taken away from the show many great leads.
Jamie Gilligan, G-Tex Stainless

"We were very pleased with the whole show & the venue. Visitors were of a high quality & seriously interested. We have put Surface Design Show on the top of our list of shows to attend next year."
David Hudson, Rawson Carpets

“It was our first time exhibiting at the show. We've done a few in the past but we thoroughly enjoyed this one. A great atmosphere and an interesting range of exhibitors. Small but perfectly formed!”
Emmanuel Baumard, Purlfrost (Studio Paname)

Surface Design Show was a really big success last year and we are already looking forward to being part of the next Surface Design Show! Rouven Seidler, Key Account Manager Architecture, Sefar AG

We chose to launch our new product at the Surface Design Show.  The first day was a great success and we found that the visitors all have a common interest. If only the first day at all fairs were this good.  Jan DuPont, Marketing Manager, B.I.C    

The Surface Design Show is a great show – it isn’t oversubscribed and is a lovely venue. We previewed or new line Effex and had genuine interest from the visitors who take natural, fully sustainable products to heart.  Wayne Probert, UK Sales Manager, Stora Enso

This is one of our main events we do each year. I like the intimate feel of the show; visitors can stop by and we get a good chance to speak to them. The event is very targeted and the quality of the visitors is good.  Colin Babbage, Key Account Manager, Muraspec

The show is focussed and defined. Compared to shows in the US, the leads are of higher quality.  Morgan Newman, co founder of Idea Paint

We have had a great response to our new collection. We had good quality projects from big practices – important and key specifiers in our area.  Simon Herman, Director, Flooring Concepts/Bolon

We attend a few shows each year but this was the first for our division. We really liked it as the location is nice, there’s a good buzz and as for customer contact we’re getting some nice projects.  Jenny Muston, Ceilings Development Manager, British Gypsum: Acoustic Ceilings

We have used the show to launch Veritas as It’s a nice upmarket exhibition with upmarket visitors – a nice selection of architects and designers.  Geoff Baker, Chairman, Veritas

This is one of two shows we are doing this year. We were here at the beginning and after a brief break we’ve returned because this show serves us well.  David Boyton, Business Manager UK, Rheinzink

This is a really good show, great organisation, and great location. I loved the idea of the Inspiration Centre and it’s a brilliant show for first time exhibitors like myself.  Patricia Belford, Textile Designer, Tactility Factory

We are really happy with the top-range kind of visitors at the show. We launched a new product and were pleased with the enquiries.  David McGrath, Architectural Textiles Ltd

We have launched a new product in England at the show. What I liked about the show is the number of students we spoke to. They have bright ideas for the future; they are our future customers.  Walter Malvasi. Skytech

This is our first time at The Surface Design Show. We have made a lot of good quality contacts with designers and architects. We used this show along with others this year to highlight our new product range.  Ann Debosschere, Commercial Officer, Limited Edition

This is the second time we have exhibited at The Surface Design Show. We exhibited for the quality of the designers and architects attending and the fact that there are fewer members of the public. We have enjoyed the event and are looking forward to next year!  Les Pratt, Director, Hourglass

This was our second time at the show. We have launched two new products which have been really successful. There were loads of architects and designers coming by the stand – we had the right people coming by.  Elizabeth Hancock, Leeuwenburgh

We have seen more potential UK customers in three hours today that we saw at Cersaie as a whole… and two good enquiries for large quatities just this afternoon!  Chris Wright, Grespania UK Ltd

Fantastic show in a great venue, visited by all the right people, by far the best one we have done…Jon Baker, NES Solutions

This was Novograf’s first year at the Surface Design Show and our products were well received by the design-led visitors. The opening hours of the show, especially the late evening openings helped to attract those architects and interiors designers who just cannot make regular 9 to 5 exhibition hours.  Mick Barker, Novograf

I found the exhibition a real benefit and felt the organisation was probably one of the best I have witnessed.  Kevin Smith, Global TCT

This is the second year at the Surface Design Show for the BRE Green Guide Theatre. The seminars were once again well received and well attended with a high quality mix of architects, designers and manufacturers. The Show provides an excellent opportunity to meet with existing and potential clients. It is a pleasure to work with the SDS team who make the organisation of the whole event so smooth and effortless.  Helen Ball, BRE Global
