Curtain falls on a successful MACH 2018

News

As the final curtain drops on MACH 2018, key members of the MTA team have been reflecting on what has been by common consent a very successful week for the UK manufacturing and engineering sector.

Following a week-long build-up, during which equipment had to be transported, installed and set up ready for live demonstrations, the show ran smoothly all week, with visitors captivated by the dynamic nature of many of the stands.

Ahead of MACH 2018, a decision was taken in consultation with exhibitors via the exhibition committee to switch the show to a new set of halls for the first time since it moved to the NEC. This move appears to have been well received by visitors and exhibitors alike, with James Fudge, the MTA’s Head of Events & Member Services, saying: “Coming into the show, we were not sure what the reaction would be. We were very excited about the move and were hoping there would be more frontage and it would spread the visitors out. That is exactly what it has done, so we’ve had a much better flow of traffic through the halls, with no pinch points when it gets extremely busy.”
