Plantworx visitors will be making their way to Bruntingthorpe Aerodrome in Leicestershire in 2015
The UK's biennial construction equipment exhibition, 3579 PLANTWORX, is moving to a new home for its next show in 2015. Organiser CEA (the 3418 Construction Equipment Association) announced today that the event's 11,000 visitors will be making their way to Bruntingthorpe Aerodrome in Leicestershire for three days from June 2 to 4 2015.
The new site covers 135,000 square metres and will offer live digging zones as well as a hard standing area that will be used for both exhibition stands and car parking.
"The layout of the site has been designed so that all exhibitors can be in a single area, with parking on hard standing either side of the show – so no trudging through mud to get to where the action is," says the CEA.
Also, "as with the first show, there will be a maximum size of stand allowed and the allocation of the major stands (approximately 10) will, as in 2013, be in the form of a ‘Grand Stand Draw.' This will take place at the CEA’s Croydon headquarters on October 3 2013 and will be broadcast live via the Plantworx website and Diggers & Dozers for all to see," says the association.
"These anchor stands will be strategically placed around the showground and exhibitors who have already expressed an interest in these stands include255 JCB, 1413 Finning/178 Caterpillar, 236 Hyundai, 172 Bomag, 2106 Manitou, Marubeni 2300 Komatsu, 2394 Volvo, 1654 Takeuchi and 6791 Ammann."
For Alan Batty, managing director of BOMAG, "moving location for Plantworx 2015 was not an ideal situation but the (new) site has a lot to offer compared with Stoneleigh, particularly the large and level show area that means all exhibitors are together in one location."
CEA chief executive Rob Oliver agrees, adding that the "new Bruntingthorpe location allows us to present an event in a single, undivided, area which should provide both a better exhibitor and visitor experience (with) "all the show parking on hard standing so even if the weather does take a turn for the worse, visitors will be able to keep the mud off their tyres.”
