he joint organisers of the International Materials Handling Exhibition – Quartz Publishing and Exhibitions Ltd and the British Industrial Truck Association (BITA) – are delighted that over 70 exhibitors have already signed up for the next show, now two years away.
“It’s a great way to kick off the 2013 show,” commented Paul Michael, managing director of Quartz, “and is testament to how successful IMHX is in delivering large volumes of high- quality leads to ensure return on
investment.”
James Clark, secretary general of BITA, added, “Our members and other exhibitors seemed very pleased with the 2010 show and the Design 4 Safety competition was a real highlight, with many of the winners now capitalising on their success.
“The number of bookings already confirmed for IMHX 2013 demonstrates both the high level of confidence in the exhibition and current market sentiment.” Over 8,000m2
of space taken
Taking place at Birmingham’s NEC from 19-22 March, IMHX 2013 is once again expected to attract all the major players in the supply chain and logistics industry. Over 8,000m2
of space has already
been allocated within the event, with a number of companies taking larger stands than at the last show. One such company is Crown Lift Trucks UK Ltd, whose managing director Simon Emerysaid, “The enquiries we received at IMHX 2010 far exceeded our expectations, and we currently have live quotations with new customers as a direct result of our attendance. “We are delighted to announce that we have not only booked space at IMHX 2013, but have doubled the size of our stand.
“The UK is a great place to do business,” added Mr Emery, “and the larger stand space reflects both our commitment to the show and our growing product line. IMHX 2013 will play an important role in our marketing strategy.”
Many first-time exhibitors at the show in November were so impressed with the high calibre of visitors that they have rebooked already.

Said Richard Short, sales director for goods lift manufacturer Penny Hydraulics Ltd, “IMHX proved to be an excellent showcase event and we were extremely pleased with the number and quality of enquiries that we received. Although leads can often take 6-12 months to come to fruition, we have already received orders for close on £100,000 as a result of the show.” Martin Smith, area manager (UK) for first-time exhibitor, Packsize Limited, agreed: “IMHX 2010 was used as a launchpad for Packsize Limited, the new UK arm of Packsize, to demonstrate our technology to help businesses reduce their packaging consumption. The quality of the visitors and the contacts made meant that the event was highly successful for us and we had no hesitation in rebooking for IMHX 2013.”
Spaciotempo UK Ltd, another first- time exhibitor, was also very pleased with the response to its stand. “As the leading show in the industry,” commented Katie Soutar of Spaciotempo, “IMHX enabled us to showcase our products to the right audience in a professional environment. We were pleasantly surprised at both the volume and quality of visitors and took some great enquiries, which the sales team is now working hard to convert. We hope to have contracts signed off the back of IMHX over the coming months.” Equally, many long-standing IMHX exhibitors have reserved stands for 2013. “We believe that it is the only show that reflects and supports the entire breadth of the warehousing and logistics market,” commented Alan Jenkins, commercial director of industrial door specialist, Hörmann UK
