Devon based clothing company Whackjob is among the new exhibitors, set to display its entire range in the ‘Whackjob lounge’ that has travelled the UK for the past 12 months, promoting the brand at events. Fibrax will also be in attendance showcasing its complete range of braking products.

Organiser Sean Reynolds said exhibition space demand had surpassed expectations. He commented: “We knew from the trade feedback last year, that this year was going to see an increase in demand for both exhibition space and visitor passes but even we could not have predicted such a high level of interest.
“The venue is ideally located for ease of access and with over 75 brands now confirmed, we truly believe this to be a must attend show for anyone in the trade."
