Andrew Tosh reports: Staged again in Harrogate, the number of stands this year was noticeably reduced, although on the day of the visit, the numbers of day visitors seemed undimminshed. Indeed talking to the exhibitors who had taken stands they all felt that the show had been very useful for them.

A number of exhibitors were showing new product ranges:

BFM launched their Portway brand of woodburning stoves to much interest along with a number of glass fronted HE gas fires .

Legend Gas Fires launched new HE gas fires as well as their own range of stoves.

Esse showed a full range of products and the stand was particularly busy.

Also of note was Dimplex launching a woodburing stove range and Flamerite launching a range of exclusive retail only electric fires.
