“SALTEX 2019 once again proved an exceptionally busy and successful show for us. We received a tremendous amount of enquiries throughout the two days from end users and dealers wanting to add the Mean Green mowers to their range and we have already conducted many demonstrations. We have already booked our stands for SALTEX 2020 and we hope that the success of the exhibition continues to grow.”
Guy Overton, Overton UK
“We used the show to launch new products and we’ve had a great reaction. Again, the continual development of SALTEX and direct access to the markets, and customers we want to see, seems to be evolving nicely at the NEC.”
David Cole, Reesink
“We’ve had a fantastic show again this year and was the busiest we have had for many years now. It is great to see the level of interest in the show and the diversity of visitors. Once again, we have had a lot of international visitors which is great for us.”
Derek Smith, Johnsons Sports Seed
“SALTEX is great to connect with our customers and dealers and we want to come and show what we’ve got to sell to everybody. We have such a broad spectrum of visitors here, everything from independent landscapers right through to large sports clubs and amenities. SALTEX is very professional; it is clean, it is bright, and the level of the show over the years just keeps getting better and better.”
Craig Hoare, Hayter Toro
“We find found that SALTEX is the number one show in the marketplace for us. I think it is ideal to launch new products, increase brand awareness and the return we get on it, which is most important, has been fantastic. It is for this reasons that SALTEX 2019 will go down as a huge success for Dennis and SISIS.”
Roger Moore, Dennis and SISIS
“We’ve exhibited at a lot of shows in the past couple of years, but this has been the busiest show that I have ever experienced.”
Jordan Watson, STIHL UK
“We’ve been a long-term exhibitor at SALTEX for over 20 years and I can honestly say that I cannot remember a show were we had so much activity and people on the stand right to the end of both days.”
Les Malin, Etesia UK
“SALTEX 2018 has been a phenomenal platform for us, so much so that we’ve already booked our stand for 2019 and have secured an even bigger space.
“At the show we unveiled our new FORZA Alu110 360° football goal wheels which attracted huge interest from football clubs. We have since sold a large number to Premier League and leading international clubs.
“SALTEX allowed for the introduction to many established pitch contractors and we are now working on one project which includes supplying FORZA Alu110 goals and two tier shelters to Colliers Park, Wrexham (FAW National Training Centre) in collaboration with CLS Sport.
“We also had the opportunity to network with many top grounds people and have already supplied and installed indoor football protection netting for West Ham United FC’s indoor academy training centre – a lead that came from SALTEX.”
Robbie Hayter, Net World Sports
“The quality of visitor seems to be better than ever and there was a great mix covering all avenues of grounds and sports turf. As a result of SALTEX we have picked up some fantastic work within the Premier League as well as from a large number of schools and colleges.”
Jeremy Hoyle, Earlsmere
“We picked up a couple of major national accounts as a direct result of having a stand at SALTEX and have seen an increase in sales from a number of accounts. We have already committed to have the same stand at SALTEX 2019.”
Malcom Mullender, Garden & Hire Spares
“At SALTEX we launched our new range of Westermann weed and moss brushes which has been highly successful. We are now placing regular orders with the German suppliers and have received great feedback from customers who have purchased since the show.”
Laurie Davies, SPA Power Machinery
“We’ve been coming to the show for the last four years, and we are still a fairly new company, we’ve been going 8 years now. SALTEX is a great show for a wide variety of customers, we sell to schools, sports clubs, councils, contractors, so you get the full mix here at SALTEX. It’s great to catch up with existing customers and it is fantastic to gain new leads too. It’s been a really busy show, potentially one of the busiest so far. We’re looking forward to coming back next year again.”
Darren Rodman, Pitchmark
“We thought SALTEX 2017 was a good show. We met with customers both old and new and secured some new business from the show. It was a good opportunity for us to showcase our products to a wide audience, from golf to sports grounds, and encompassing both natural and synthetic turf managers.”
Charterhouse Turf Machinery
“We’ve been a long-term supporter of SALTEX, the venue has perfect access and it is a great time of year for visitors because they are not so busy and it has great travel links which is great for overseas visitors. We’ve found to be really good this year, we’ve been very pleased with the volume of visitors, we’ve had some great guys come through from the high end, the Premiership guys, the County Cricket guys but also from grassroots and local sports teams. We’ve also been really pleased with the number of overseas visitors – the UK is seen as a centre of excellence for turf management – we’ve had visitors from Hungary, the Czech Republic, Spain, Denmark, Norway, so we’ve had a really good show and we are really pleased.”
Derek Smith, Johnsons Sports Seeds
“We come to SALTEX because it plays an important part within our marketing platform. We find the show great for the launching of new products, a flag waving exercise, to meet existing customers as well as new customers. This year in particular has been incredibly busy, so it is a very important and vital part of our marketing strategy.”
Roger Moore, Dennis & SISIS
“We chose to come to SALTEX simply because we feel that it
