March 13, 2012 - PRLog -- Event organiser Diversified Business Communications UK has today announced the official launch of Office Interiors, the new trade exhibition for the UK’s office interiors industry, to be held at Earls Court on 13-14 February 2013.  The announcement follows an Advisory Panel lunch in London, last Friday, attended by twenty leading decision makers and other interest groups, who agreed that there is serious need for a highly focused, effective and design led trade show for this important sector.

The event has the support of leading industry associations, including The Association of Interior Specialists, The Furniture Industry Research Association, The British Council for Offices, The Office Furniture Advisory Service and The Society of British Interior Design, in addition to the publishers of leading design publications FX and Blueprint.  Most leading brands in the sector have also confirmed their support of the initiative, including Flexiform’s Richard Drew, who said: “The office interiors industry has for a long time been in need of a show that is relevant and worth investing time and money in.  We are sure the Diversified UK team will provide the vision, determination and skills to make such a show a success and recommend to the whole industry.”

Daniel Shirley of Brunner Office Furniture added: “I’m pleased that Diversified UK have decided to go ahead and officially launch the exhibition.  February is great timing, as many companies would have launched new product at Orgatec in Germany in October, and will therefore require a decent UK platform from which to launch new collections.”

Andrew Bentham at CCT Interiors said of the launch: “An event that recognises the importance of commercial office design and the impact it has on staff, businesses and the economy as a whole is well overdue. Highlighting an often overlooked, yet crucial aspect of how businesses and brands function – and the design and expertise that goes in to it – is an exciting and very welcome prospect.”

The office furniture market alone is estimated to be worth £635 million, according to AMA Research, and is expected to grow to reach a total value of £735 million by 2015.  Additional core areas covered by the event include office lighting, storage, receptions, partitioning, design and fit-out.

Commenting on the announcement event manager Ali Mead said: “We have spent over six months researching this important launch and we’re delighted with the response.  And the advisory panel’s official endorsement of decision to go ahead, is a very exciting development and proves that we have a winning concept.  Everyone thinks it’s a good idea and that the UK has needed a proper, focused event for this important industry for many, many years."  

"Office Interiors follows the success of our other recent launches and as organisers of other relevant market leading shows, including office* and the Service Desk & IT Support Show, we’re perfectly positioned to deliver a broad based event which, crucially, will include the whole industry, from interior designers and architects, to relevant ‘end users’, including project, office, facilities and property managers, plus senior management who make the final decision."

“With our strap line ‘Interiors for offices that work’, and some really exciting initiatives to be announced over the coming months, we intend to put the spotlight back on the importance of inspiring, creative work environments and to create a highly effective platform for this important industry," says Mead.
