Hillhead 2020 organisers report record demand for space

The organisers of 427 Hillhead 2020 say that demand for space at next summer’s event is at a record high.

The UK quarrying, construction and recycling exhibition takes place from 23–25 June 2020 at Hillhead Quarry, near Buxton.

The organisers say that the outdoor floorplan is close to being finalised with over 90% of space already sold.  In addition to the usual Hillhead regulars, this year’s extension to the showground has allowed a plethora of new companies to attend including Yanmar, 8787 Hidromek, 444 MB Crusher, Magni Telescopic Handlers, 6170 McLanahan Corporation, 7492 Merlo UK, Arjes (Doyle Machinery), 1801 BHS-Sonthofen, and DAF Trucks.

The organisers say that demand for indoor space has been "unprecedented" with both the Main Pavilion and Registration Pavilion filling up quickly. Companies exhibiting for the first time include Balluff, Criptic-Arvis, Petro-Canada Lubricants, Senseye, Bonomi Group, Crush+Size Technology, Twin Disc, Lubas, Simbas, Vulkan Industries, Henkel Loctite, Sulzer Pumps, Yudin Equipment, and TCE Transmission.

Event manager Harvey Sugden commented: "We know that Hillhead is an extremely popular show in the industry calendar and we always have an excellent response from exhibitors, but this year the demand has been overwhelming."
