MIDLANDS MACHINERY SHOW
TO SHOWCASE THE BEST OF THE
AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY INDUSTRY
ON November 20 & 21, the
Midlands Machinery Show returns
to Newark Showground for the
sixth year running. Building on
its reputation as an opportunity
to do business in a friendly and
informative atmosphere, Midlands
Machinery Show is becoming a
key date on everyone’s calendar.
Firmly established as the
largest agricultural machinery
show in the region, the Midlands
Machinery Show has seen growth
year on year, with an all new
area being introduced for this
year’s event to accommodate
the rise in demand for exhibi-
tion stand space, with two halls
having sold out already! Newark
Showground’s rural yet easily
accessible venue, enables the
Midlands Machinery Show to have
a unique combination of indoor
exhibition stands, large outdoor
stands and plenty of room to see
machinery in action.
The brand-new East Zone,
located at the newly introduced
Southern Gate entrance, will
feature a marquee extension off
the Sir John Buildings, which will
provide an additional 1400sqm
of indoor space. These improve-
ments have been implemented
to improve the flow around the
Show, as the show expands and
to enhance the experience for
both exhibitors and visitors when
navigating around the site. The
East Zone is also located by the
outdoor ‘Demo Area’ which was
first introduced last year and is
being further developed for this
November’s event, provides an
opportunity to see the latest
innovations from the agricultural
machinery industry in action.
The Show team are very
pleased to be also welcoming
many returning dealerships and
manufacturers who value the
opportunity to meet new and
existing customers in a relaxed
environment. With top names like
Chafer Sprayers, Chandlers, R C
Setchfields, Ripon Farm Services,
Weaving Machinery, and Big Bale
North, the Show is committed to
remaining close to its core focus
on agricultural machinery and to
bringing the agricultural industry
together.
The Midlands Machinery Show
Manager, George Taylor, said
“We are delighted at the amount
of returning exhibitors and the
percentage of new exhibitors
for 2019. This is testament to the
popularity of the show that prides
itself on being a platform for small
to medium-sized agricultural
businesses to showcase their
diverse range of machinery and
innovations to those who work
and have an interest in agriculture
and its future. Exhibitors and vis-
itors benefit from meeting others
within their community, seeing
new technology and discussing
investment in new products and
services”.
The friendly atmosphere at the
event is appreciated by everyone
involved in the Show and the
quality of the attendees is one of
the main reasons why exhibitors
return, with the event attracting
farmers, agricultural contractors,
students and many more key
decision makers from within
the industry. George Taylor also
added:
“Last year, exhibitors com-
mented on a high level of
enquiries translating into sales
and visitors who took the time to
respond to our survey, carried
out during the show, said that they
regard MMS as a great source of
topical information in the indus-
try. People also appreciated the
ease of access via arterial roads
to Newark Showground as well
as the ample free parking and the
swift entry into the Show.”
The Midlands Machinery Show
is a great opportunity to discover
all that’s best in agricultural
machinery and products available
in the Midlands, and beyond.
It’s also a fantastic way to learn
about the latest industry news
and trends, with topical seminars
scheduled in a dedicated seminar
theatre being repeated daily with
opportunities to collect NRoSO
and BASIS points as well as up to
date information.
