Bed Show Gala Dinner guests raise £2,000 for our charity

We would like to say a huge thank you to attendees at the National Bed Federation’s (NBF) 14th annual Bed Show Gala Dinner who collectively raised an impressive £2,000 for our charity.

The Bed Show Gala Dinner took place on 25 September at the Telford International Centre and was attended by more than 500 guests.

Hosted by Anton Du Beke, star of Strictly Come Dancing, the Gala Dinner also marked the announcement of the eight winners of the 2024 Bed Industry Awards, honouring excellence across bed manufacturing, component supplying, and retailing.

Simon Williams, NBF head of marketing & membership, said: “This year’s glittering dinner and awards was definitely one of the best in the event’s history. It was wonderful to see over 500 people coming together to celebrate our fantastic industry.

“The bed sector is a generous supporter of The Furniture Makers’ Company, and this was a great way to demonstrate that support while enjoying the company of friends, colleagues, customers, and suppliers.”

Brian Ahern, Master of The Furniture Makers’ Company, who was in attendance, said: “On behalf of The Furniture Makers’ Company, I extend my thanks to the National Bed Federation and all the generous guests at the Bed Show Gala Dinner. The £2,000 raised will make a significant difference in supporting our charitable initiatives. Your commitment to our shared mission demonstrates the incredible spirit of the bed industry. Thank you for your kindness and support.”
