More dealers register for show than ever despite the challenging economic climate

Record numbers sign up for Core Bike 2011

Core Bike organisers have confirmed that the number of dealers registered for the show is at an all time high.

Registration has now closed, but dealers can still sign up to attend on the day. Dealers are asked to bring business credentials with them, such as a supplier invoice and identification. Priority will be given to pre-registered retailers, but the team aims to process on-site registrations as quickly as possible.

All visitors are being asked to arrive before 11am to guarantee lunch.

“We have been very pleased with the dealer response to Core Bike,” said Peter Nisbet. “It is obvious that the show is of huge interest to UK dealers and the record number of pre-registrations is just the icing on the cake.

“It is looking like all three days of Core are going to be very busy indeed. With all the bad news in the wider economy, it is good to know that dealers will still take the time out of their busy lives to visit key suppliers.”

Nisbet added: “The relaxed atmosphere and swanky surroundings at Whittlebury Hall are obviously a big help to Core. It’s great to get the chance to kick back with customers in the evening in a relaxing environment after a busy day at a trade show.”

This year’s Core Bike runs from Sunday January 30th to Tuesday February 1st. The 18-strong list of Core exhibitors includes 2pure, Buffera, Chicken Cyclekit, Chocolate, Citrus-Lime, Cordee, Extra, Fox, Hope, Ison, Jim Walker, Merida, Paligap, Sealskinz, Silverfish, SiWiS, Upgrade and Windwave.
