Timber Expo 2011 Review
Exhibitors and visitors have hailed Timber Expo 2011 as an outstanding success, showcasing a sector which has embraced new ways of bringing solutions to market efficiently and cost-effectively.
More than 4,000 visitors, including architects, engineers, contractors and local authorities, attended the two-day event and the seminar theatres and conference modules attracted hundreds of delegates. Around 200 guests attended the Wood Awards 2011 Winners' Ceremony on the opening day of the show and a feature unique to Timber Expo was the Timber Buyers Forum, which linked exhibitors with major contractors, developers and clients.
When we first heard that Timber Expo was going to be a very focused show, we felt it was the event we needed to be at to showcase the learning and innovations that we have generated in the last 6 years. It has been a great event and the footfall has been fantastic. We feel this is one of the better events in the UK for showcasing our business in.

I think we have been very pleased overall - there are a lot of other events going on here and a lot of customers in terms of specifiers, engineers and architects as well as the trade customers you would expect to see.

The running of the show has been excellent, the organisation from the team we found has been great, everybody has been really helpful. The whole process for us has been relatively straight forward and we have thoroughly enjoyed it. The show has been excellent, we have had a great number of visitors and some quality leads, which is the purpose of us coming to an event like this.

I wish I had more time at the show than I had allocated myself! Will not make that mistake next year!

2011 Timber Expo generated a lot of high quality leads from people who are genuinely interested in timber and we have received a lot of enquiries. We are so pleased with it we have taken an extra 50% increase in space. We feel it is important for James Lathams to be at Timber Expo next year and we are looking forward to it already.
Excellent show. Focussed on timber and fixings, so almost every stand had something of interest.

I have to say in terms of the organisation and everything pre-show has been fantastic, lots of opportunities and assistance to help us get to our customers and generate that all important footfall. Our initial feedback is it is just the right target audience - a mix of existing and new customers. All in all it has been a very successful show for us and we are really pleased.
