Roccia’s 2025 Trade Event breaks attendance records

Independent tile, bathroom, and kitchen retailer Roccia hosted its annual Trade Event at the company’s flagship showroom in Preston last week, drawing record-breaking attendance for the third consecutive year.

This year’s supplier showcase event attracted a record number of trade professionals from across the UK, providing a unique opportunity for those working in the kitchen, bathroom, construction, and home renovation industries to engage directly with Roccia’s team and a broad portfolio of key suppliers.

With live product demonstrations, technical workshops, and exclusive previews of new tools and systems, the day offered insight into the innovations shaping the future of the tiling and installation industries.

The event also raised over £1,000 for local charity, the Rosemere Cancer Foundation. Charity buckets, each containing over £55 worth of professional tools and treats, were sold throughout the day, with all proceeds going toward state-of-the-art equipment and patient support services across Lancashire and South Cumbria.

Jonathan Stopforth, trade manager at Roccia, commented: "The annual Roccia Trade Event continues to go from strength to strength, with 2025 hitting harder than previous years. It was fantastic to welcome so many trade professionals through our doors, both loyal partners and fresh faces, to engage with our trusted suppliers and explore all the new products they had on offer.

"We’re especially proud to have raised over £1,000 for Rosemere Cancer Foundation, thanks to the generosity of our attendees and partners. Feedback so far has been overwhelmingly positive, and I’d like to personally thank everyone, from our suppliers to the traders, who contributed to making this event such a success."
