Release from Quartz Publishing & Exhibitions
Carpex & WINDex, the UK`s largest specialist exhibitions for professional carpet and window cleaners have announced dates for 2008. A new state of the art venue has been chosen and to top it all, exhibitor numbers look set to give the last events held in 2006, a real run for their money!
Taking place on 27th and 28th March next year, the shows, both organised by Quartz Publishing & Exhibitions Limited, (joint organisers of The Cleaning Show with BCC and publishers of C&M magazine) will be held for the first time at the multi-purpose Ricoh Arena in Coventry. Since opening for business in the summer of 2005, the £113 million development has proved a huge success attracting more than 1 million visitors in the first 12 months.
Carpex is sponsored by the National Carpet Cleaners Association (NCCA) and will provide a unique opportunity for everyone involved in carpet cleaning, maintenance, restoration and flooring to conduct business, network and to keep up to date with the latest industry developments. Products and services for all aspects of carpet cleaning will be on show including cleaning machinery, fire and flood restoration products, carpet cleaning chemicals, steam cleaners, vacuum cleaners and more.
WINDex will be co-located with Carpex and is sponsored by the Federation of Window Cleaners. Targeted at window cleaners, contract cleaners and facility managers, the show will bring together the window cleaning industry`s decision makers all under one roof. Showcasing abseiling equipment, ladders, squeegees, waterfed pole systems and safety equipment, WINDex will also be host to product demonstrations and the popular window cleaner of the year competition! Both exhibitions will include an extensive free seminar programme over the two days.
Martin Scott, Event Director, commenting on next year`s shows said: `Having started to talk about Carpex and WINDex just 14 days ago, over 20 stand spaces have already been sold. With a start like that I`m expecting a very busy event indeed with exhibitor and visitor statistics to surpass those of previous years.`
Carpex and WINDex are free for qualifying businesses to attend. Visitors to both events will be able to pass between the shows providing the very broadest business forum of its kind for these two market sectors.
