OPPORTUNITIES FOR MARKET DEVELOPMENT

NORTHERN MANUFACTURING & ELECTRONICS, MANCHERSTER  1-2 OCTOBER 2014
SOUTHERN MANUFACTURING & ELECTRONICS, FARNBOROUGH 12-13 February 2015
 
Exhibitions can be a very effective way to market your goods and services, raise your companies profile and meet existing customers whilst continuing to develop new markets.
 
Following the success of the Fife group stands at Northern Manufacturing 2013 and Southern Manufacturing in February 2014, Fife Council has agreed to organise group stands at both events. Space will be offered on a first come first served basis to interested companies. A number of Fife businesses participated at the previous shows; between them they received enquiries/potential orders worth £2-3 million over the next 3-4 years with potential for longer term. These events organised by European Trade & Industry (ETES) are the most successful regional manufacturing exhibition and conference events in the UK. Both events are multi-sector covering the automotive, aerospace, defence, contract engineering, manufacturing and electronics among others.

For full details of each event please visit the ETES web-site www.industry.co.uk
