Lee & Thompson advises Montgomery Group on the sale of FIT Show to Nineteen Group

3rd November 2026

Lee & Thompson's Corporate team has advised Montgomery Group on the sale of FIT Show to Nineteen Group, the international events and media company.

FIT Show is the UK’s leading dedicated trade event for the windows, doors and glazing industry. It attracts around 10,000 visitors and more than 200 brands, drawing manufacturers, suppliers, installers, architects, specifiers, builders and developers. The next edition takes place at NEC Birmingham from 18 to 20 May 2027, with members of the existing team remaining with the event.

The deal builds on the existing relationship between Montgomery Group and Nineteen Group following the sale by Montgomery Group to Nineteen Group of Professional Woodworking Expo earlier this year on which Lee & Thompson’s Corporate team also advised.

Joshua Metliss, Partner in the Corporate team at Lee & Thompson, said: “It has been a pleasure advising the fantastic Montgomery Group team on the sale of FIT Show and we wish Nineteen continuing success with FIT Show’s next chapter.”

The Lee & Thompson team was led by Joshua Metliss, Partner, Corporate, supported by Will Chivers, Associate.
