Businesses across the furniture industry have voiced their thoughts on the first-ever Furniture Component Expo, as part of a British Furniture Manufacturers (BFM) podcast. The latest Industry Matters episode follows BFM's Marketing and Comms Manager Jo Audley-Charles as she explored the expo, which took place at Telford International Centre over two days in April.
The event was opened by Mark Eastwood MP, Conservative MP for Dewsbury and current Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Furniture Industry Group (APPFIG).
Interviewed on the podcast, he said, 'My background was in furniture before I became an MP, so I understand the industry. It's a real honour to be cutting the ribbon on behalf of BFM for the Furniture Component Expo. What we want to do is get businesses in the UK more successful, growing and working with other UK businesses. We want to export high-quality furniture – you buy British, you buy the best when it comes to furniture.'
FCE will return on 19 and 20 March 2025 at Telford International Centre.
