JUNE 2022 Ӏ NEWS
EvERy oNE'S A WINNER, BABY
With rain one day and sun the next, exhibitors both indoors and out benefitted from a packed Vertikal Days. UK lifting equipment show Vertikal Days took place in Peterborough on 11th – 12th May 2022. Despite being held just eight months after the previous (2021) show there was clearly an appetite for another in-person industry meet with near record visitor numbers reported.
The unpredictable British weather meant that the rain on the 11th saw show goers making a beeline for the shelter of the covered Marketplace where trade was brisk. The following day, though, the sun shone enticing the gathered buyers and users of lifting equipment to eyeball the assorted gleaming machines on display outside. With all the latest lifting equipment on
display, a high volume of quality visitors, plus multiple networking opportunities against a backdrop of good food, drink, and entertainment, it’s no wonder Vertikal Days is so poplar and now celebrating its 15th anniversary. The next Vertikal Days event is scheduled for 10–11th May 2023 – again at the East of England Showground, Peterborough, UK. See you there
