February trade shows have already exceeded the size they were in 2010, and sales director Paul Grinsell is confident that the shows will be a sell out.

"We're on target to be a third bigger in 2011", said Mr Grinsell. "Which is great news for exhibitors and visitors alike - as it means more to see and more people seeing it. It is also a strong signal that the market is in better shape and feeling more confident."

The most recent exhibitor signings to the show include Rustins, Haxnicks, Sterling Locks, Cannon Tools, The Stadium Group, Rhino Professional and Tembe DIY, all of which have exhibited in previous years.

Companies that are new to the show include Le Mark, Lodi UK, Cyanotec and Frisco.

The shows are also well supported by the industry's leading wholesalers; Home Hardware South West, Mica DIY, Stax Trade Centres and Toolbank and trade associations BHETA, BHF and GIMA.

Totally DIY: Totally Tools: Totally Secure will be held at the Birmingham NEC on February 6-8, 2011, running alongside Spring Fair International.
