I have been to Windex it was a good show the next show wont be there til 2008

I believe having a stand is very expensive

  The downside of the show is not many suppliers are represented there due to the cost of a stall. You only have the big suppliers with the likes of Ionics, Omnipole etc..

 If it was not for the seminars then your day could be over in a hour.

 Worth a visit though as you get to swop ideas with fellow w/c's.

I went to Windex this year, it was ok . There seemed to be more for the Carpet cleaning side .
The Federation of Window Cleaners has there  show in Blackpool next year.
Its at the Devere Hotel  on 28th April. They also have the Fastest window cleaner competition . Most suppliers have stands there

I've no idea how much it costs to have a stand so it might be a no brainer.  However, I wonder if Matt's donations to his website (the website that dare not speak its name  :)  ) would cover the cost.  Watch the sparks fly as Matt shows people how to save themselves bundles of money.   ;D  .

Out of 174 exhibitors I counted 9 actually window cleaning orientated, and that included the FWC ::)
