The Commercial Vehicle Show is to run in its entirety again next
year at Birmingham's NEC following the event's success in April,
which attracted more than 16,000 visitors over three days.
"The CV Show is the UK's leading showcase for road transport,
demonstrating the full capabilities of the sector and its
importance to the broader economy. It has fast become a well
established fixture on the industry's calendar so I am pleased to
confirm details for the 2012 event," said RHA Chief Executive,
Geoff Dunning. "This year's Show beat all our expectations setting
the scene for a tremendous event in 2012 for both exhibitors and
visitors alike."
Charlotte Careswell, NEC Account Manager for the CV Show
said: "It's fantastic to see shows like this doing really well and
we're delighted to be welcoming back the full show in 2012.
We now look forward to it being even bigger and better than
this year."
The show is organised by the Commercial Vehicle Show LLP,
which consists of the Road Haulage Association Ltd (RHA), The
Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders Ltd (SMMT) and IRTE
Services Ltd, the trading company of the Society of Operations
Engineers (SOE).
The CV Show LLP also announced the appointment of Crystal
Communications to manage the organisation of the Show, including
sales, marketing and operations.
SOE Chief Executive, Nick Jones added: "Despite the weak
economic conditions, the 2011 CV Show attracted an impressive
display of exhibitors and an enthusiastic set of visitors. I am
delighted that our winning formula will be repeated next year and
am confident that Crystal Communications will deliver an unmissable
event in 2012."
"The CV Show is a great opportunity to showcase the latest
developments in road transport technology, demonstrating the
industry's achievements in lowering emissions and improving fuel
efficiency," said SMMT Chief Executive, Paul Everitt. "The 2012 CV
Show is set to build on the success of this year's event,
attracting an even greater range of exhibitors and creating new
business opportunities."
