CONTRACT TRAIL INTRODUCED AT JFS

New in 2019 will be the JFS Contract Trail.

Over 150 of the 2019 exhibitors either regularly, or occasionally supply contract.

For the first time contract suppliers will be identified on the exhibitor listing on the JFS website, making it easy for buyers to plan their stand visits in advance. In addition buyers will be able to collect a fold-out map on arrival at the show which identifies the contract supplying exhibitors in each hall.

The JFS organisers had noticed an increase in the number of both retail and non-retail buyers requesting information on companies who supplied contract. It was a logical step to make that information readily available to attending buyers.

Show Director Cleere Scammell said of the Contract Trail, “It is important that we give our buying visitors as much useful information as is feasible, to make their visiting time at JFS as productive as possible. Adding the Contract Trail was an easy decision given the number of requests we receive for the information, and given the large number of contract suppliers that we have among our exhibitors.”

Across the board in upholstery, cabinet, beds, and accessories there are suppliers of contract exhibiting at JFS, including Buoyant, Duresta, Gallery Direct, Ashley Manor, Firstlight Products, Stuart Jones, The Libra Company and Silentnight.
