As part of our drive to ensure that both all sectors of the paving market are represented at the show, we are delighted to confirm that HAUC (Highway Authorities and Utilities Commitee) will have a stand at World of Paving 2010.
Clearly local authorities represent a very important part of the specification market for paving so we feel sure that all of our exhibitors will welcome the chance to put their latest and best products in front of this type of visitor.
There’s no question that 2009 is a very tough year economically and the commercial section of the paving market seems to have been particularly badly hit.
This is why we are so pleased that, with the latest sign-ups to the show, we are approaching 25% space sold and this less than 4 months after launch.
And what sign-ups they are – Optimas, the German company that is one of the World market leaders in the manufacture of paving laying equipment, Lonstone, the long established UK based pre-cast paving manufacturer and Boddingtons, the Maldon, Essex based manufacturer of a wide range of extruded thermoplastic products including the well known GrassProtecta and TurfProtecta brands that are exported Worldwide.
We already have a top line up of companies signed up for the show and across a broad range of products – pre-cast paving, drainage, grass reinforcement, paving installation machines, diamond cutting and drilling, resin bonded aggregate systems, natural stone paving, specialist sealants and mortars – so we are well on target to being able to support our claim that there will be something for everyone in the paving industry at World of Paving 2010.
