£1.2bn Increase On Buying Power At Interbuild
Latest figures from Interbuild reveal a massive £1.2bn increase on the value of 'live' visitor projects underway during the 2007 show.
Visitors were working on 5,500 active projects, worth a staggering £17.4bn, according to the show's sister company, EMAP Glenigan, who specialise in the tracking of projects, companies and contacts in UK construction.
"These figures are testament to the industry's valuable contribution to the wider economy," said Interbuild Event Director James Gower. "The visitor breakdown shows audience buying power was at an all-time high, signifying the start of a new era for Interbuild.
"With the launch of the show as an annual event the trade now has this fantastic opportunity to tap-into a huge buying audience year-after-year. We look forward to replicating the success enjoyed at this year’s show and making it an annual cause for celebration."
Interbuild 2007 – which took place between 26 October and 1 November - attracted over 1,100 exhibitors and 44,000 buying visitors.
"The layout and general feel of the show worked well this year and the audited figures back-up this sentiment," says James.
"The intention now is to take this winning formula and enhance it with some new additions to keep the format fresh and Interbuild alive as an inspirational industry event."
