Shame the F.W.C still don't know what they are talking about.
I listened in on one talk they gave at Coventry and the guy wouldn't answer a straight question with a straight answer and he also claimed WFP could NOT remove bird dirt.......
Might go to the Blackpool show to see the smaller outfits but not for the FWC seminars..

Its a good time to chat - if you can find/ recognise anyone.

It's fairly common knowledge on this forum that I have slanty-eyes and a Geordie accent, so when I last went to Birmingham NEC I was forever getting stopped and asked, 'Are you Tosh?'.

It was a bit unerrving, 'cos I don't always remember who and when I've wound someone up, and even Terry Burrows (Guiness Book of Records entrant from World's Fastest Window Cleaner and black-belt karate expert), was after giving me a kicking after I took the mick out of his haircut on this forum

I think I remarked after seeing his picture that I had hair just the same as his; just not on my head.

I thought the show was okay, but the highlight for me was meeting up with a bunch of guys from this forum and having a few beers after the show.

Is it realy worth paying  £7000 - £10,000 as an exhibitor for just a fairly small stand?
Would any of you pay that?
It means that sales of approxamatly £35,000 - £50,000 need to taken  at the show just to not loose money

A small stand at The Cleaning Show costs as little as £1000, medium stands £2400, why exhibit? because over 12,000 people visit the show all potential buyers.

its a price you have to pay to keep in contention with suppliers such as the likes of the dark side.
if the products are good only time will tell

With a stand for £1000 you get 2 metres x 2 metres About enoth to put one person with two poles or a trolley ;D
For £2400.00 you get 5 metres x 2 metres = space for 2 trolleys a pole one demonstrator and one customer  ;D   ;D
one well known wfp supplier was spending £60,000 just on the spaace  then on top of that they had  the setup display, staff, hotels etc.

Any stand that costs under £5000.00 isnt worth having as you wouldnt even get noticed!

I will be there Mr H but can't imagine why you would want to attend for 2 days. I went in 2007 and saw everything in about 3 hours. Ironics, Unger, Tucker poles and Scott Young were just a few of the stands that I can remember that were there.

Going for 2 days due to the distance involved. Leave early Wed morning get up there go in and meet people and chat...... Then off for some lunch....... Then on to the second stall..... meet some more people and chat..... so I might get the first 2 rows done on the first day..... Then off for a nice curry in the evening and a couple or 3 beverages...... Then try and finish off the show on day 2 and drive home that afternoon.........
I always go round a show at least three times and each time a different way so you see the stall from a different angle and you will often discover something you missed.......
