Exhibitor list
Grand Designs Live is the show attached to the Channel 4 series, and the Birmingham edition runs three days at the NEC across build, kitchens and bathrooms, gardens and interiors. It is a trade and general public event, which changes the character of the exhibitor list considerably.
The visitors here are largely homeowners partway through a project: people planning a self-build, an extension, a loft conversion or a retrofit. That means the companies exhibiting are set up to sell directly to a private client rather than through a specifier or a main contractor, and most of them are small regional firms rather than national brands.
The list skews strongly toward owner-operated specialists. Alvaston Loft Conversions, Cambrica Timber Frames, Core Conservation, Arden Windows and English Brothers are typical of the build side. Black Barn Architecture and Advanced Surveys cover design and survey. Dragon Renewable Energy and Daikin UK represent the heat pump and renewables end, which has grown considerably at this show as retrofit grants have moved.
On the interiors side, Bertazzoni, Cult Furniture, Butch Block and Cosy Cotswold Company sit alongside landscape and garden firms such as Cultivar and Lawns and Landscapes.
This is the useful part for anyone selling B2B: almost every company on this floor is a small UK business with a marketing budget, an active growth push, and a founder who signs off spending. If your buyer is an SME owner in construction, home improvement or interiors rather than a corporate procurement team, this list is well matched to that.

Delivered as CSV, deduplicated, with the company's own description included where the organiser publishes one. Need a field that is not in the directory? We enrich websites, phone numbers, LinkedIn pages and named contacts on request.
Phone enrichment is worth requesting for this show specifically. These are small firms where the owner answers, and a call to a 12-person loft conversion company reaches the decision maker in a way that an email to a generic inbox rarely does.
Stand numbers are on 147 of the 149 records, which makes the list usable as a floor plan. The NEC halls are large and Grand Designs Live runs three days rather than two, so there is more room here than at a tighter show to work the floor properly if you are attending.
One note on the audience. Because this is a consumer-facing show, the exhibitors are spending their marketing budget on lead generation, not on brand. Anything you sell that produces enquiries, bookings or showroom visits lands better with this list than a general business pitch would.
149 companies are listed in the official exhibitor directory for the 2026 Birmingham edition, deduplicated from the show's published list.
Company name, stand number, website and cleaned domain, and LinkedIn company page where published. 73 of the 149 records already carry a website. Phone numbers are enriched at fulfilment for this show, which is worth requesting given how many exhibitors are small owner-run firms.
Both. Grand Designs Live is open to trade and general public, and the visitor base is mostly homeowners running a build or renovation project. The exhibitors are therefore set up to sell direct to private clients, which makes them a good fit if you sell marketing, lead generation or business services to small firms.
