Feedback from exhibitors and delegates from last year's event.
- ‘We always enjoy this event with TWI as the visitors are 'good quality'. We engage with new customers as well as existing ones.’
Huntingdon Fusion Techniques Ltd
- ‘It should become the premier welding exhibition in the UK.’
ESAB Speciality Alloys
- ‘The most valuable part of the day was speaking to the experts. We wanted to weld stainless-steel to navel brass, the experts gave us all the info and contacts we needed to be able to braise the two components together. We are cable specialist so therefore we are always looking to broaden our knowledge on welding and abrasive metals.’
Meg Lodge, CableFirst
- ‘Excellent forum to interact directly with the leading manufacturers and service providers. The diversity in the stalls resonated very well with the important themes of the modern industry ie data management, HS&E, automation in welding and virtual reality applications.’
Archit Sharma, Rolls-Royce
