SED 2008 Takes Pole Position

SED (Site Equipment Demonstration) 2008 is off to a flying start with the number of stand bookings well ahead in comparison to this time last year.

The show is taking place a week earlier in 2008 from 13 – 15 May at Rockingham Motor Speedway, in Corby Northamptonshire, the show's third year at the venue.

Exhibitors reported their best ever show at SED 2007 with a record amount of enquiries and sales. To date almost 200 companies, and more coming in daily, have committed to exhibiting at next year’s all-action plant show – the 42nd National Event for Construction.

The SED undercover Pavilion is going full speed ahead and exhibitor bookings are already up by 50% on the same time last year.

SED 2008 will also have two new digging demonstration areas where visitors can see even more kit in action.
