News We are GO for launch
As the countdown to EHS 2022 enters the final phase, we are delighted to confirm that the Big Show is most definitely going ahead on February 9/10. In fairness, it was never in much doubt – we were keen to do it and, after an enforced two-year break, there was a massive demand for it. However, we salute those manufacturers and suppliers exhibiting who have remained resolute throughout. The very latest to join the EHS family is Fentex Limited (Stand A3) whose range of absorbency products will doubtless find much favour with companies looking to mop up spillages and maintain a tidy workshop. Their range of 'Muckyz' hand and machinery wipes went particularly well at the recent Executive Hire Glasgow Roadshow, and it's useful to know that they also help to kill viruses and bacteria. Meanwhile, stand bookings have continued apace. Recent weeks have seen rotation moulding specialists Jobec UK sign up (Stand A0). Likewise, product marketing aficionados Exordia Global (Stand A1) and smart telematics providers GemOne on J35. Put simply, this is the main event for the plant & tool hire trade, and this year we're
bigger and better than ever, with over 30 brand new exhibitors, a great many new products on display, a brand new presenter for the Innovation Trail and the evening party back for an all too long overdue get-together. EHS 2022 will of course be run as
a Covid-safe event, as per current guidelines. Stay tuned to the Show website for further news and visitor registration details.
Born Free Entry to the Executive Hire Show doesn’t
cost a bean. It’s the best day out in hire, so head to

Major milestone achieved JCB has announced that its 750,000th engine has recently
rolled off the production line. More than half of the 750,000 engines were made at JCB Power Systems in Derbyshire, which produces a range of equipment from 55 – 212kW. The engines are used for JCB products, as well as those of customers producing equipment as diverse as road sweepers, screeners and crushers, and barges. The company enlisted the help of its Delhi outpost to attain this landmark figure.
