The 2010 edition of the Totally Shows in their new home
at the NEC in Birmingham, is shaping up nicely, says organiser
Brintex.
Show sales director Paul Grinsell has commented that 'optimism
is returning' to the sectors the shows cover, and interest in the
new timing and venue, which will see the shows run alongside Spring
Fair International on February 7, 8 and 9, is totally positive!
Akzo Nobel's brands Dulux, Polycell, Cuprinol, Hammerite
and International have confirmed their involvement with
the show. They return at the same time as Tor
Coatings brands Blackfriar Paints, Zinsser and
Rust-Oleum. The Stadium Group and
The Rug Doctor have also rebooked for 2010.
In Totally Secure, Yale Security Products,
Davenport-Burgess and Sentry Safe are the latest
to renew their participation, joined by newcomer MDS
Incorporated.
Carly Baker, marketing manager, Yale UK confirmed the company's
booking saying, "After a successful show in 2009 we are delighted
to be returning to the event. With the 2010 show being held
centrally at the NEC, we expect to attract DIY and hardware
visitors as well as locksmiths from all over the country."
Mark Hawkins, UK sales manager, Sentry Safe UK said,
"Sentry Safe is really excited about the 2010 show. I think
locksmith and DIY businesses will want to see new products for 2010
and this is great format for manufacturers to present them."
SMC Corporation has booked its return on a
larger stand in the Totally Tools line-up and has been joined by
Cannon Tools, back after a one year break from the
show, and Merlin Business Software.
Other exhibitors returning to Totally DIY after a break on the back
of the NEC move include Barrettine
Products, Chain Products, Stax Trade
Centres, Select Hardware and S&S Home Supplies.
The British Hardware Federation (BHF) has
also confirmed it will be taking part in the 2010 show, and has
told organisers it is intending to create its own show pavilion of
BHF Direct suppliers for members to meet.
Paul Woolley, commercial director of BHF said, "The relocation of
the Totally Shows alongside the Spring Fair with its central
geographic location is a really positive move and can only increase
footfall. We look forward to welcoming both current and potential
members to our stand."
