Thomas Smith “ of Smiths Equipment Hire The Show is ideal for seeing the


latest products and to identify new opportunities that our business should be exploring. It is focused directly on our market and you can see what your current suppliers are launching. Manufacturers are introducing and improving products constantly and it is vital to keep in touch. Also, I have been looking at the floor plan and, with so many new exhibitors this year, hirers can make contact with companies they might be unfamiliar with, who are offering interesting new equipment that will be well worth studying.


Many suppliers have reduced the number of reps they have on the road, so the Show enables you to make contact with them directly. It’s also beneficial from a networking and socialising perspective, allowing you to compare your experiences against those of other hirers. Being held at the start of the year, you can gauge the


current state of the market and to consider new industry trends. These are exciting times for Smiths. We will be opening our new Liverpool depot


around the time of the Show, so we will be on the lookout for items we can add for its fleet, and throughout our operation generally.


” “ Bill Leaver from Hire Station


The Executive Hire Show is a fantastic meeting place for our industry. It brings together suppliers, colleagues and competitors from all over the country, and allows you to keep in touch with developments.


It is easy to spend the whole day there, viewing the latest innovative equipment on the many stands, including existing and new suppliers. The most enjoyable aspect is that you can meet old industry contacts and representatives of companies that you have dealt with for far too many years to remember.

The Show will give us the opportunity to visit our main suppliers and partners, whilst keeping an eye out for any new initiatives that we can pursue. It is an excellent way of keeping up-to-date with what is happening in the industry and for catching up with old friends. It really is well worth the time and effort.


2015 was a year of very strong growth for us, with the establishment of a new Hire and Assemble Aluminium Access Division. For 2016 we have strengthened our management team with the appointment of a new Director of Operations, and we have an extremely exciting 12 months planned ahead of us.

Lee Stuart “


of Mather and Stuart Amongst the


many reasons why I enjoy attending the Show is its close proximity to us as a north west-based company, and its excellent accessibility for most of the


population, with good transport links and more than ample car parking facilities. We are a generator


hire and sales company, and many of the exhibitors in this category are suppliers of ours. I can genuinely get to see them all in less than one day, without the need to see a chiropodist afterwards, as the venue is well laid out, compact and not too challenging on the feet. The Show is also fantastic for networking with manufacturers and potential clients and, generally, enjoying the camaraderie amongst fellow plant and equipment hirers.





Matthew Claridge of Traction Equipment (Stafford)


One of the main reasons I attend the Show is that I’m passionate about hire and I like to participate in the industry, rather than be a spectator of it. Last year, I saw several items of interest, which we have since added to our hire fleet. The Show gives me the chance to see some old faces, and it is always a good way of introducing our company to exhibitors, so that I can create, build and sustain mutually beneficial and profitable relationships through personal and organisational contact. The passion that the Executive Hire Show team puts into the event, as well as the Regional Road Shows throughout the year, gives us all something to look forward to, and there is always the opportunity to seek out some good deals.
