What was the best thing about last year's show?
The visitors: although in lower numbers than pre-recession years, it was better than the previous event. This manifested itself in the amount of enquiries and orders as a consequence of the show. What change would you make to the tipping industry if you had the power? Most tipper manufacturers are too concerned about how to outdo a competitor to win an order, which leads to manufacturers ending up in financial difficulty and customers not getting a proper service. An industry body would unite manufacturers to discuss issues and bring stability, while keeping a competitive edge in the marketplace.
