CPA Bulletin

14 CPA Bulletin > February 2022 www.cpa.uk.net New technologies, sustainability and safety take centre stage at the Executive Hire Show 2022 EXECUTIVE HIRE SHOW: 1 The venue has received a cash injection of more than £7.5 million for a revamp which has delivered a world-class exhibition, event and conference centre. The EHS will remain largely unchanged - but the organisers have promised that the event will be ‘bigger and better’. The EHS event team has confirmed that the main hall has completely sold out, with the atrium also full. The compact plant hire and equipment industry is booming. Infrastructure projects are pushing forward, which has propelled the hire sector to reach new peaks, and the construction equipment industry is also embarking on the journey to achieve net zero carbon by 2050, therefore innovation and investment in new technology, safety and renewables and sustainable solutions, are at an all-time high. Chris Moore, Executive Hire Show, Publishing and Events Director said: “This is the main event for the plant and tool hire trade, and this year we’re bigger and better than ever, with more than 135 exhibitors, of which over 30 are brand new to the event and a great many new products on display. “We salute those manufacturers and suppliers exhibiting who have remained resolute throughout the uncertainties. Stand bookings have continued apace. Recent weeks have seen rotation moulding specialists Jobec UK sign up. Likewise product marketing aficionados Exordia Global and smart telematics providers GemOne . We are expected to be completely sold out before the event and look forward to bringing the hire sector back together once again.” The ‘ Innovation Trail Eco-Live’ is making a return for the 2022 show but the focus will be on emerging trends and technologies that are shaping the future of the industry. The Innovation Trail Eco’ event will be hosted by Peter Haddock from Content With Media . Companies profiled on the trail will reflect environmental and sustainable solutions and products that embrace the latest technologies, including safety innovation and offer efficient and future proof solutions for the evolving hire sector. The Construction Plant-hire Association (CPA) is exhibiting on stand H20. The CPA teamwill be on hand at the show to talk through some of the projects the association is currently working on such as Stars of the Future 2022, CPA Conference 2022 and the CPA skills strategy, as well as offering advice about the switch from red diesel, the introduction of the Super Deduction Allowance (SDA) and many other current issues. New exhibitors that have committed to the 2022 Show include Dymac Global , who specialise in renewable power products and Powr2 , a US based manufacturer of renewable power systems, and innovative energy storage systems, that claim to decrease emission and noise on any temporary power application. The very latest to join the EHS family is Fentex , whose range of absorbency products will find much favour with companies looking to mop up spillages and maintain a tidy workshop. Their range of ‘Muckyz’ hand and machinery wipes are doubly advantageous in that they also help to kill viruses and bacteria. Look out too for LFI who will be making their EHS debut with their TuFF and Pro range of access products and will also be launching a brand new product, which is under wraps until the event - but the company promise it’s worth the wait! New exhibitor, BISAF Ltd , the UK specialist for emission control on small diesel plant, The Executive Hire Show (EHS) team is delighted to confirm that the UK’s premier hire event is back in a BIG way and will be taking place between 9th and 10th February 2022, at its established home (and newly rebranded) Coventry Building Society Arena (CBS Arena), formerly known as the Ricoh Arena.
