APF BREAKS PREVIOUS RECORDS
More visitors and exhibitors this year
The APF Exhibition, which concluded last Saturday at Ragley Estate, Warwickshire has announced that despite its tragic start during set-up, the show was the most successful yet.
The organisers who are yet to comment further on the circumstances surrounding the death of a worker during set-up last Tuesday (September 13th) have said that the exhibition which took place Thursday to Saturday (15th-17th) enjoyed exhibitor numbers which at 315, were 15% up on the previous 2014 record.
Visitor numbers smashed the previous record by 4,500 up 25% on the 2014 total, to over 22,000. Exhibition Secretary, Ian Millward, commented “The APF Team are delighted with the success of the show. We have had very positive feedback from exhibitors and visitors alike. Many exhibitors reported doing record business and some of our first time smaller exhibitors were amazed at the business they did. Many have already requested about booking for next time!
"The APF would also like to thank all our sponsors Husqvarna, A W Jenkinson, Tilhill Forestry, Euroforest, Blount UK, Forestry Journal, The Forestry Commission, Haix, Kubota, Komatsu, Först, Arbortec and Timberwolf for their support in making the show what it is” APF 2018 will take place on the same site at Ragley Estate on the 20/21/22nd September 2018.
