High demand for stands has led to the British Hardware Federation (BHF) Village at next February's Totally shows being expanded.
The BHF Village is a collection of supplier stands around a central lounge hub. Over 2,000 BHF members and potential members are invited to visit the Village to receive latest member information and meet with key BHF personnel.

The BHF is a trade association within the British Independent Retailers Association (BIRA), and BIRA Direct buyer Steve Akers says he was delighted to have to agree a larger area for the 2014 Village after all the original supplier stands were booked up fast.

"The success of the 2013 show seems to be rubbing off on the 2014 show," he commented, and urged suppliers to get in touch to book one of the additional stands as soon as possible.

The confirmed BHF Village exhibitors to date are: Chain Products, CSY Computers, Everbuild Building Products, King Cole, LG Harris, Newsome Tools, Reliable Source, Salepoint, Schneider Electric, Sugru and the Youngman Group.

Next year's Totally Tools and Totally DIY shows will run from Sunday to Tuesday, February 16-18 at Coventry's Ricoh Arena.
