"THS Annual Exhibition - The Best in the Trade!"

06 December 2005

We believe the THS Tools Group Annual Exhibition to be one of the most important events in our Calendar Year. It’s a platform for Approved Suppliers to exhibit and showcase new products and, most importantly, to meet and interface with Members under one roof.

The annual event is staged in October each year at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel at the NEC, which is an ideal location and is easily accessible by road, rail and air.

This year 113 Suppliers exhibited and 80% of Members attended from as far a field as Galway in Southern Ireland, the Scottish Highlands and the Isle of Man. Members were able to take advantage of some of the superb offers available on the day.

For most Suppliers, it’s not all about taking orders on the day, it’s the interaction between Suppliers and Members and the opportunity to discuss future business and exchange views on industry and the market place in general.

Representatives from the magazine “Tool Business + Hire” were in attendance throughout this year’s event and a double page feature article was featured in their November Issue.
