The Tiling Show
Sponsored by BIHUI, The Tiling Show brings the industry together so that visitors can easily see the latest innovations in tiles and accessories all in one place! The Show has a wide variety of exhibitors in attendance, which is only growing as leading brands continue to sign up. It features amazing offers, giveaways and prizes throughout the day.
TTA’s AGM
TTA members are invited to attend TTA’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) at 2pm in the Surrey Room. All members are encouraged to attend!
TTA members are able to register for TTA’s 2025 AGM here.
TTA Awards
With the online vote closed for TTA Awards, the industry now readies itself to find out who will be this year’s winners! The evening of celebration and entertainment will be hosted by stand-up comedian Jimmy McGhie, “a brilliant talent” (The Scotsman) with “an easy charm and appealing relaxed manner” (Chortle).
TTA Awards 2025 has a special significance as it commemorates the 25th anniversary of The Tile Association. Since it was founded in 2000 as an amalgamation of three trade associations, the Association is proud to have represented all aspects of the wall and floor tiling industry in the UK, from manufacture to installation.
This year, all charity contributions will be split equally between TTA’s two nominated charities, Children Today and the Lighthouse Charity. Stay tuned for more information about the charity auction! Please donate generously as you always do to help these two incredible charities to improve the quality of life for many.

TTA Awards Afterparty
Sponsored by Progress Profiles, TTA Awards will once again host an Afterparty – now with an increased capacity! In addition to Brightsmith on the Water, the venue for the previous year, the Afterparty now also includes a quieter space in the Executive Lounge just across the corridor. Brightsmith on the Water includes a subsidised bar, courtesy of Progress Profiles, Paul Martyn as DJ and a photobooth sponsored by Mapei.
