Southern Manufacturing returns bigger than ever

The Southern Manufacturing and Electronics Show embarks on its second decade of growth on 6-7 February 2008, with a new venue, improved facilities and a host of new attractions.

Welcoming visitors to the show's new home at Farnborough International Airport will be an exciting new programme of events and attractions, decisively establishing the show's position as the South's premier engineering and manufacturing showcase.

Southern Manufacturing's new home at the Farnborough International Venue and Events facility (FIVE) has allowed organiser European Trade Exhibition Services considerable scope for expansion - opportunities that have been exploited to good effect, as ETES managing director Phil Valentine explained: "The move to Farnborough International is a really significant watershed in the show's history.

"For 2008 we have added over 25 per cent more exhibition space and some completely new features, such as our new specialist aerospace/automotive engineering show Auto Aero 08, which will run alongside the Southern Manufacturing and Electronics events.

"Everything that has made the southern shows so successful will be there - such as the free seminar programmes, technology trails and specialist areas - but bigger and better than ever before.

"We are confident that visitors and exhibitors will be delighted with the results".

As the venue for the world's largest outdoor exhibition - the Farnborough International Airshow - the site is ideally suited to the needs of the South's number-one manufacturing event.

Unlimited space for expansion and demonstration purposes, triple the amount of free car parking, superb access by road, rail or air, and an excellent selection of local hotels and restaurants are just some of the benefits that both visitors and exhibitors will enjoy at the Southern Manufacturing and Electronics Show 2008.

Entry to Southern Manufacturing and Electronics 2008 is free.
