UK’s first large water jetting trade show hailed a success
WJA Trade Show 2024, the UK’s first large dedicated water jetting exhibition, has proved to be a hit, with visitors and exhibitors quick to say they were impressed.
Hundreds of visitors attended the event at StoneX Stadium, London, on Thursday 12th September to see products and services displayed by more than 30 exhibitors.
Exhibitors were universally positive about the exhibition, organised by the Water Jetting Association, the member body for the UK water jetting industry.
Visitors also clearly enjoying the event, which had both indoor stands and an external equipment display area. Some travelled from across Europe and from the Middle East to attend.
The wide range of equipment on display included drainage van pack units, vacuum tankers, drain jetting nozzles, pipe lining equipment, water jetting hoses, and water jetting PPE, alongside water jetting training providers and other specialist service providers.
WJA Board Member John Jones said: “There was a huge buzz in the hall, the excitement and interest were palpable. We definitely had the right exhibitors and the right visitors.
“The WJA wanted to provide new opportunities for its members and for the industry as a whole to come

together to discuss key issues, including water jetting health, safety, and wellbeing, and standards. The event absolutely succeeded in doing that.”
WJA Trade Show 2024 was sponsored by Aquajet UK, Doornbos, Flowplant, and WaterJet Training.
Steve Smith, Managing Director of Flowplant Group, which supplies equipment to the drainage industry, said: “WJA Trade Show 2024 has been immense. As a major supporter of the WJA, we’re very glad it’s been a success.”
Steve Seedhouse, Sales Executive at Aquajet UK, suppliers of hydrodemolition robots, and a show sponsor, said: “The trade show has been a positive experience for us.
“We’ve had good conversations with potential customers. It’s a strong start for an event that we hope will become a fixture in the water jetting industry calendar.”
WJA Director Leanne Smith was quick to thank exhibitors, many of them WJA members, for putting their trust in the first WJA Trade Show.
“We had exhibitors from right across the UK, and the rest of Europe for that matter, from Sweden, the Netherland, Germany and Italy,” she added. “Their commitment created a mix of services and products that clearly struck a chord with exhibition visitors.”
