Further emphasis is also being placed on the benefits of regional exhibitions to the UK's subcontract industry with the launch of The Subcontracting Centre.
Subcontractors are an integral part of the ETES exhibition strategy, and the addition of these new centres will create new opportunities for them to be at the hub of a new approach to exhibiting.
On the one hand, they will be promoting their skills and expertise to key buyers from all of the major engineering sectors; on the other hand they will be at the heart of major manufacturing events, rather than being sidelined in an associated event.
Phil Valentine, ETES' Managing Director, comments: "Our first priority has been to put in place the foundations for these developments, achieving this objective through a number of strategic appointments".
"I am confident that these enhancements to our regional exhibitions create a marketplace that will continue to give our exhibitors and visitors the location and opportunity to do serious business".
"Visitors from the indigenous manufacturing community confirm the time advantages of attending regional exhibitions".
"Initiatives such as these new centres will further benefit exhibitors and visitors alike".
"Best of all, it will bring an added dimension and renewed excitement to the world of manufacturing exhibitions".
