‘As a fellow event organiser, it was a shame to hear that imm Cologne won’t be going ahead this January. Losses to the industry calendar like this reinforce the importance of shows like the January Furniture Show, which will once again solidify its position as the meeting place for the industry,’ says Paddy Wallace, The Furniture Shows head of sales.
