PestEx 2015 set to be the biggest ever UK pest control exhibition!

Due to a high demand for exhibition space at PestEx 2015, organisers the British Pest Control Association (BPCA) have had to work with the ExCel Exhibition Centre to incorporate extra stands to meet demand for the much anticipated show taking place on the 25 and 26 March 2015.

Set to be the biggest ever UK exhibition, BPCA has now added an additional 112m of exhibition space to keep pace with the demand from companies around the world. BPCA Chief Executive Simon Forrester commented; "We had already increased PestEx 2015 by 134m on our 2013 event, so we've been slightly caught out by this extra demand for exhibition space." Simon added; "Manufacturers from across the globe clearly see PestEx as the place to be to promote and sell products, whilst company owners, managers and technicians know PestEx is the place to pick up details on all the key innovations, research and best practice."

BPCA are anticipating the increase in exhibition space will lead to an increase in visitors from the UK and across the world. BPCA Marketing and Communications Officer, Laurence Barnard explains; "With the explosion of visitor bookings we've already received, and the much anticipated technical and business seminar programmes due to are announced in the coming weeks, PestEx 2015 will well and truly be the largest ever UK exhibition ever!"

Don't forget - when you attend PestEx, you can earn up to 8 CPD points per day with BASIS PROMPT.
