ENQUIRIES CONTINUE AFTER ANOTHER
SUCCESSFUL LOCKEXPO 2015
ORGANISERS URGE EXHIBITORS - ‘BOOK YOUR STAND NOW FOR 2016’
»»Lockexpo 2015 at East
Midlands Conference Centre,
Nottingham, sponsored by
UAP Tradelocks, was another
resounding success with visitor
numbers up on previous years
- Saturday seeing just over
900 visitors, the majority from
all over the UK but also those
who travelled from Spain, Italy
and Germany as well as other
parts of Europe - and there
were some American voice in
evidence too.
With a quiet start to Sunday,
the ‘overnighters’ managed to
get onto the exhibitors they
needed to, but by 12.30 the
place was again packed as
another 580 people visited,
‘the level of enquiries
post-show is
continuing at a higher
than normal rate’
seeking out those special offers
and other bargains and buying
stock at the event, which in
2015 celebrated its sixth year
as an important date in the
industry calendar.
The hotel was similarly
packed with both the hotel
bar, the exhibition bar and
food service being very busy.
A quick check as the exhibitors
packed up showed that some
Sanjay from Trackit247
commented: “We sold a few
units at the Show, but in the
last week the fear of losing
their vans has brought a fresh
batch of enquiries”
.
Locksure’s James
Mottram confirmed Sanjay’s
comments, saying that he is
dealing with more enquiries
each day.
Lockexpo’s Mick Friend
advises that anyone seeking
a new exhibition stand for
2016 would be well advised to
e-mail him sooner rather than
later to reserve any free space
that may occur.
80 percent have reserved their
space for next year (2016.)
The dates are 27th and 28th
February (Mother’s day is on
6th March so there is no family
clash).
