"I particularly enjoyed the seminar with Alastair Peoples from Vosa and Nick Denton, the traffic commissioner. Its not often you get the chance to sit in front of those two. So its good to do that, and they were quite informative. I had a little chat with them afterwards as well. You don't get the access to those sort of people, so it was good to do that."

Its the first time I've been here, and its excellent. I'm a bit of a Volvo aficionado, so I've been looking at the new FH. I drove a Mercedes 7.5-tonner this morning, I drove the FH 460 with the tipper trailer, and I've just driven the Scania P250. The quiet delivery seminar is also relevant to my line of work."

"Both the seminars I attended were interesting and relevant to what we do in terms of Driver CPC training. Legal compliance and cycle safety are hot topics for drivers at the moment, and they were both lively seminars. It was worthwhile going to them, while a colleague of mine very much enjoyed the ride and drives."
Ray Welch, line trainer, Dnata Heathrow
"I've spent the morning wandering around the trucks at Volvo and Mercedes, looking at the things we are interested in to buy. I've been out with Volvo, its a nice truck, and the test track is mind-blowing. Its enjoyable, and I hope to test out a few more. Its obvious a lot of time and money has gone into this."
Paul Stevens, national fleet engineer, J Sainsbury
Were deciding what were going to buy next year for Euro-6. We've purchased all of our Euro-5s this year. We've had all the tenders, so this is just a bit of research today, seeing how drivers will like them. Its a good show that's getting bigger and bigger, and there's some good stuff on the ride and drives."
Andy Ray, national fleet engineer, Travis Perkins
Were looking at new specs on vehicles and to see what's new out there. I'm here to see the Daf, as we run quite a few, but also to see what else is out there. I went out with the extra long trailer, which was quite an experience. Its a good opportunity for networking and, all in all, its a great and useful day."
