Glazpart is pleased to announce that it has attained Gold (the highest level) award for sustainability of the company’s stand at FIT Show 2025.

The award was confirmed by Better Stands, the organisation that collaborates across the events and exhibition industry to transition to the use of reusable stands.

The Better Stands Framework recognises and commends the use of reusable stands, inspiring change through awareness and engagement. By working with shows and exhibitors towards the use of reusable stands, Better Stands delivers better efficiency, better experience, better safety and better sustainability for all.

Before the FIT Show, Glazpart submitted a "Better Stands Sustainability Report" which identified the sustainable elements of the stand that Glazpart could and would re-use after the recent FIT Show. These elements included two large containers, used for storage, product display, branding and hospitality.

In the report, other reusable parts of the Glazpart stand included lighting, graphics, display stands (glass cabinets), flooring, fascias and furniture.

At the breakdown of the show, Glazpart demonstrated to the Better Stands representative (Stand Approver), how the elements would be re-used. The Glazpart team methodically dismantled the stand, then carefully stored, packed and transported all the component parts safely back to Glazpart’s HQ in Banbury, ready to use for Glazpart’s next event/exhibition.

On achieving the Gold standard, Dean Bradley, Glazpart Sales Director commented, “We are delighted to achieve this award. It is an independent events industry assessment which recognises the Glazpart team’s hard work in ensuring the stand was both built and taken down safely to ensure sustainability. Our modular stand lightbox units, graphics and display cabinets have already been reused at “Manufacturing Solutions Ireland” just one month after FIT Show.”

At FIT Show, Glazpart had one of its best ever exhibitions with four new product launches, promotion of its award-winning Glazpartners customer support programme and celebration of the company’s 40th anniversary.

On Glazpart’s achievement, Nickie West, FIT Show Event Director commented;

"Congratulations to Glazpart on attaining Gold for Sustainability for their stand at this year's FIT Show. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the Glazpart team for their work to achieve this award and for joining us and Better Stands on the journey towards a more sustainable future for events."

Dean Bradley added, “As well as having a sustainable and reusable stand, our stand design and set up enables us to scale up or down depending on the size of the event. The design and approach not only reduces costs but also means our team spends less time in both assembly and break down. The storage advantage within the containers also involves less vehicles to transport the stand and its contents. Overall we are pleased with this year’s stand but we’re not complacent, we know there’s always room for improvement and will aim to make our event stands even better going forward.”
