Organisers of the Professional Woodworking Expo (PWE) have confirmed that the British Woodworking Federation (BWF) will be an official partner when the UK’s dedicated event for woodworking professionals returns to the NEC Birmingham, 17 – 19th May 2026.
The partnership underlines PWE’s position as the essential meeting place for the UK’s woodworking and joinery manufacturing industry. With over 6,000 professionals expected to attend and more than 500 BWF members represented across the sector, the event will showcase cutting-edge machinery, tools, software, coatings, finishes, and materials - alongside an expanded programme of live demonstrations, skills training, and expert-led content.
The BWF will work alongside the organisers to shape content, provide insights, and ensure the expo delivers maximum value for its members and the wider industry.
“The woodworking sector is at the heart of UK manufacturing, with over 30,000 joinery and installation businesses driving growth and innovation," says David Todd, Professional Woodworking Expo event director.
"Partnering with the BWF ensures that Professional Woodworking Expo remains fully aligned with industry needs. Together, we will deliver an event that showcases the very best products, skills, and solutions for the sector.”
