nothing is fair in business, if it was I would have a superlite pole and also be testing your new pole coming out  :P

Alex,

I'm sure Mrs G would like a nice romantic break at the cleaning show ;D

I'm going both days with the wife as you can claim all expenses against tax, it's our weekend break paid for by my company  ;D ;D

But there is no way she will be going to the show, she is going to spend her days in Stratford

Is there really any point (no pun intended) in going if you are a small one man band outfit
Is there any benifits?
Not being sarcastic I really would like to know how it could benifit me or my comany
as far as i can see I will only spend money on crap I really should have not bought  :)

I live near Gatwick and my sister and nephew live in Co Durham.  Coventry is about half way.  Looks like a chance for a few days break to visit Windex and visit a few relatives.

Over the past few years a lot of things have been changing quite quickly in the window cleaning world. I mean in relation to WFP and everything associated with it.

I have really enjoyed the chance to go and see stuff I had only otherwise heard about or read about and Windex was the only place where you could see it all.
This year I will be going but my "want to see" list is nothing like it was in previous years. I hope this doesn't mean Windex will burn out. Less exhibitors = less to see = less people going = even less exhibitors next year and so on.

where is this list please ?

maybe if they advertised it better more would go I had never heard of it till I come on here, national press maybe (if they did I never saw it and guess 1000's of other window cleaners are the same)

I went to the Fed show at Blackpool last year. It was only 1 day with even less exhibitors and it was a very good day out. Well worth it to see what is going on etc. It was very busy and loads to see so it was a great day out.

I don't think the type of exhibitions that are of interest to us are big enough to generate national press coverage or advertising.

Ian.. just google windex and go to the site. The list aint up to date I think but it shows you some of the exhibitors who will be there.
