Commenting on STIHL GB's plans for SALTEX 2015, Simon Hewitt, head of marketing said: "STIHL will be showcasing our extensive low noise cordless tool range at the NEC, including even more hard-working new models for professionals this year. We look forward to meeting familiar and new contacts at this year's event, and will follow with interest this bold move for the show."

2015 will see Inturf celebrating its 30th anniversary and joint managing director, Alex Edwards, is upbeat about the exhibition's new location: "We have been sharing a stand with three other well respected and established companies at SALTEX for some years now, enjoying a good level of enquiries. We think it's a better location to attract a wider audience and should be less susceptible to the vagaries of the British weather," he said.

The new show format will incorporate a wide range of educational seminars and turf debates, the unique 'Ask The Expert' turf management clinic, and for the first time, will combine with the IOG's annual Conference and Awards.
