Wren confirmed as sponsor of The Bishop of Manchester pub at InstallerSHOW 2026
Wren, the UK’s number one kitchen and bedroom retailer, has been confirmed as the official sponsor of The Bishop of Manchester pub, which is set to be the central hub for the kitchen community in Hall 4 at InstallerSHOW 2026.
The Bishop of Manchester is designed as a welcoming and vibrant meeting point, bringing together installers, manufacturers, designers and specifiers working across the kitchen sector. The space will offer a relaxed environment for networking, informal meetings, and knowledge sharing throughout the three-day show. The pub has been named in honour of Andy Bishop, an industry legend who sadly died in 2025 and was an integral part of InstallerSHOW’s kitchen content.
The sponsorship from Wren Kitchens reinforces the brand’s ongoing commitment to supporting the trade and engaging directly with professionals at the heart of the industry.
Lucy Dixon, InstallerSHOW’s Head of Engagement, said: “Having Wren on board as sponsors of The Bishop of Manchester is brilliant, and something we know Andy would have loved. Creating a dedicated networking hub for the kitchen community has been a key ambition for us, and Wren’s support helps bring that vision to life. It’s going to be a fantastic space for people to connect, collaborate and unwind during what is always a busy and exciting show.”
Danny Rose, National Trade Manager for Wren Kitchens added: “We’re delighted to be sponsoring The Bishop of Manchester at InstallerSHOW. It’s a brilliant initiative that recognises the importance of community within the kitchen sector. We’re looking forward to meeting installers and industry peers in a space designed to encourage conversation and connection.”
Located in Hall 4, The Bishop of Manchester pub is expected to become a focal point of InstallerSHOW 2026, offering a unique blend of industry insight and informal networking for kitchen professionals.
At Stand 4D40, next to The Bishop of Manchester pub, Wren will be showcasing its kitchen, bedroom and living product ranges, including a comparison bay to show the difference between its kitchen ranges. Visitors will also be able to see how projects can be brought to life in 3D using Wren’s state-of-the-art design and VR technology and have the chance to win mega prizes by showcasing their football techniques on a VR football simulator.
InstallerSHOW 2026 runs 23-25 June at Birmingham’s NEC, with an extensive content programme aimed at the construction trades.
