Show News SALTEX


is Growing SALTEX 2016 is the must attend event for those interested in the latest innovations in machinery, power and hand tools Last year’s SALTEX (Sports, Amenities, Landscaping Trade Exhibition) was an


unprecedented success with over 260 exhibitors and 8,714 unique visitors spanning 45 different nations. Building on that success, SALTEX 2016’s improved show features and unrivalled industry support are set to work together to create the most exciting tools and machinery event to date when the doors open at the NEC, Birmingham on November 2 and 3. With three large halls containing many of the major players from across the


industry, SALTEX 2016 is the ideal place to see products and services which could improve the daily operations of those who rely on market leading tools. The exhibition will see a plethora of exhibitors representing the likes of sports pitch maintenance equipment; aeration, screening and turf cutters; arboriculture, horticulture and forestry equipment; landscaping and gardening machinery, high level cleaning and maintenance equipment; land drainage machinery and security, health and safety equipment. Visitors can also expect to see new products being unveiled, new unique services and some exciting guest appearances on the exhibitor stands. There will be a number of education opportunities at this year’s SALTEX


through LEARNING LIVE – an all-encompassing free to attend education programme designed for all sectors of the industry. Last year saw 1,655 minutes of seminars and LEARNING LIVE 2016 is set to be expanded further with an even more exiting programme featuring a greater depth of content and quality. In particular, Angus Lindsay from the Landscape Group will explain how public


sector organisations should select and source machinery and Wayne Grills, chief executive of the British Association of Landscape Industries (BALI) will be highlighting the importance of the structured card-based LISS/CSCS scheme as well as introducing the audience to the BALI-NCF (BALI National Contractors Forum). Elsewhere within the programme, Ian Forman from the Agricultural Engineers


Association will stress the importance of adhering to the Sustainable Use Directive and Rhoderic Taylor, consultant and fellow of the Arboricultural Association, will be delivering a presentation entitled ‘Trees - from selection to establishment’ in which he will be discussing what to look for when selecting trees based on the nature of the site. Rhoderic’s seminar will also focus on the value of keeping plant records for a variety of purposes including health and safety issues. Based on SALTEX 2015 post-show feedback surveys, show organisers have


made the decision to bring back outdoor working demonstrations, which will take place on a grass area directly outside the SALTEX halls 6, 7 and 8 and will provide visitors with an opportunity of seeing a number of tools and machinery in action. The NEC has well connected transport links to the rest of the country – with


more than 75 per cent of the UK’s population situated within just three hours from the venue. Plus visitors who decide to travel by Virgin Rail can receive 25 per cent discount on their ticket fare. The full programme of SALTEX events will be regularly updated via
