Stop Press – 5th Annual Executive Hire Show Has Completely SOLD Out!


The Executive Hire Show team announced today that all stand space at the show has now completely sold out – all 6000 square metres! They also reported that there have been customers wishing to book stands who have had to be turned away and on the waiting list for the 2012 show!


The total number of exhibitors has now risen to 116 and of those 35 are brand new to the Executive Hire Show. At last count there were no less than 69 stands with new products to see. Show director Robert Aplin said, “This is one show that hire professionals cannot afford to miss this year. We have got every area of the industry covered with the most diverse range of products that we have ever had in our five year history including an increased focus on Plant. The new innovation Zone will also be a huge draw for visitors with 13 shortlisted companies showing their latest new products that offer advanced technology and design.” Aplin concluded, “The fact the show has now completely sold out is testament to how strong the hire market is and how our customers recognise us as the number one venue to showcase their products.”
