Organisers of the show, which is being held on 4 and 5 November, have extended the show footprint to accommodate the increasing number of  exhibitors that have now confirmed their presence.

Since the floorplan was released in mid-November, more than 130 exhibitors have signed up to SALTEX’s new indoor format.

Commenting on SALTEX’s hall expansion, show organiser Brintex sales director John Gibson said: “With an additional 30 companies provisionally holding spaces and halls 8 & 7 almost sold out, we are delighted to announce the show's expansion into hall 6. This will enable us to accommodate well over 200 exhibitors, which allows us to promote a very broad range of top brand products and services to this year’s visitors.”

Geoff Webb, CEO of the Institute of Groundsmanship, is very upbeat about the expansion, “Industry support of SALTEX 2015’s new date and location has already exceeded expectations. Many of the sector's biggest names have signed up to the show - many of which have taken large stands to launch new products," he said.

The most recent exhibitors include Everris, Makita, Limagrain UK, Schiller Grounds Care, Fleet Line Markers, Countrywide Turf and Amenity, Lister Wilder, Nomix Enviro, The Childrens Playground Company, Border Sports Services, Kanga Loaders and Lloyds Hunter, who became the 100th company to sign-up.

As the only company to have exhibited at every SALTEX since it began in 1938, it was fitting that Lloyds Hunter was the 100th exhibitor to confirm its attendance. Commenting on the company’s long-standing presence at SALTEX, managing director Clive Nottingham, said, “I’m delighted to hear that we are the only company to have exhibited at every SALTEX since it began. We are big supporters of the exhibition and are looking forward to seeing the show’s new format.”
