ENTRANCE CAR PARK RECEPTION
With Eurobike switching its dates twice after the 2018 show, there’s obviously even less consensus on when is the best time for a trade show. Eurobike’s move to September could well mean there will now be a void in that early summer slot that needs filling. Clearly, it suited some dealers for logistical reasons that both shows shared the same dateline in 2015, but from CORE’s perspective, the number and quality of companies taking part now means that dealers have a lot to see at Whittlebury. Having to leave early to get to Silverstone probably did both shows a bit of a disservice.

CORE had its best-ever attendance last time around, which is a powerful indicator that it’s in very good health and providing dealers with an important service. There aren’t that many opportunities in the year for dealers to meet up and share their thoughts about each other’s businesses and the industry. Despite the current tricky trading conditions, there are dealers doing very well, and it’s always fascinating to hear about what they do and how they’ve been successful. While some very important business gets done at Whittlebury, CORE does also offer a pretty unique opportunity for distributors/brands/dealers to relax and catch up informally. n
