hi there i found there was not much to do
and not really a lot there all the big names in window cleaning where there but you cant buy anything there just get bombarded with cards / flyers ect and directed to there websites that we all know about anyway.

i think if you wanted to go and look at the latest poles squeegees ect then its great but other than that i walked the whole lot and looked on all the window cleaning stalls and at some of the pressure washing equipment and a few other stalls all in about an hour and half.
considering i travelled 110 miles each way i spent the best part of 4-4 1/2 hours in the car for about an hour or so of looking on stalls and getting directed to there websites.

unger gave me a free 80p mini scraper
for me it really wasn't worth my time and fuel money
but ive been and done it so some good has  come of it i know not to bother next time

Is it just not much use for window cleaners? not a lot can be really, I've been cleaning for 20 plus years and cannot imagine much change and this site covers new improvements. Not that I close my mind to change. Can anyone recommend any good stalls worth seeing
