July 9, 2014, Buxton, England
– The organizers of Hillhead are calling the 2014 show a success,with a total
of 17,559 trade visitors in attendance at Lafarge Tarmac’s Hillhead Quarry in
Buxton, England.
Around 450 of the world’s
leading equipment manufacturers, contractors and suppliers took part in the
biennial trade show, to promote their latest plant, equipment, materials and
services.
Regular attendees will also have
noticed the new layout inside the expanded Registration Pavilion with more
indoor stands than before. And with a further extension to the showground providing
more space for outdoor plots and a brand new working demonstration area at the
top of the ramp, near the entrance, Hillhead 2014 was the biggest show ever
mounted at the Derbyshire quarry site.
Hillhead is widely regarded
as an important platform for companies to get their products and services into
worldwide markets, thanks to the scale and diversity of visitors to the show.
Summing up this year’s show,
event director Jack Berridge said Hillhead 2014 had been a great success, as
all the stand space on the enlarged site layout had been sold out, visitor
attendance was up by around 700 on the last show, and even the Buxton weather
had obliged by being dry and fine on the show days without being too hot. ‘It
doesn’t get much better than that!’ he concluded.
Dates for Hillhead 2016 will
be announced shortly.
