They have taken more than 75% of the allocated space (more than 9,000sq m).

Attendees can expect to see brands such as Honda, STIHL, AMS Robotics, The Pitchmark Group, KAR UK, Wicksteed Leisure, ICL, Dennis & SISIS, Shelton Sportsturf Drainage, Origin Amenity, Kress UK, EGO, Makita, Greenbest, Soil Scout, Karcher UK, Foley Grinders, RT Machinery and Etesia UK (pictured).

Commenting on Etesia UK’s decision to exhibit at GroundsFest, managing director Les Malin said: “I believe GroundsFest could be exactly what the groundscare industry needs in terms of trade shows. We have all been attending the same existing shows which have not changed for several years. Therefore, I think we should all be looking forward to something different.

“There is no such thing as too many shows in my opinion; it is more about having events that work for individual companies. We are all different, but

“We’ve had a great start to bookings, with exhibitors maintaining the momentum they gained at last year’s Midlands Machinery event,” says show organiser Elizabeth Halsall. “Last year’s show saw over 230 exhibitors and we are well on the way to that.” we all want to give our customers the chance to experience something new and exciting. GroundsFest will offer exactly this.” www.groundsfest.com
