In the blink of an eye, PLASA London has drawn its curtains for another year. PLASA continues to be one of our all-time favourite tradeshows to attend, and is the perfect chance to see what everyone in the AV, Lighting and Staging industry has been up to. And we can’t forget about the opportunity the show gives us to catch-up with our lovely customers and meet some new faces. Held at Olympia London over the course of three days, the show was a buzz of activity, illuminated by only the best and latest products on display. 

Each year Vertikal Days is a pleasure to attend, and this year was no different. A record number of visitors made their way to Donington Park, Leicestershire, to view the Access & Lifting industry’s latest innovation and there was certainly a great deal to see. A major enticing aspect of Vertikal Days is that exhibitors are permitted to perform live demonstrations of their machinery, offering a unique visitor experience. This resulted in some of the biggest names in the industry, eager to show their new equipment in action.

Holywell Park Conference Centre at Loughborough University, played host to this year’s annual HAE EHA Trade Show and Conference. The aptly named ‘Hire 2018 – Forward Together’ was a fantastic networking opportunity as well as a chance to learn, engage and tackle the existing and future challenges of the hire industry. Exhibitors, attendees and speakers successfully came together to discuss thought provoking concepts that address the unique challenges the hire industry face and help people within the industry prolong the lives of their businesses.

At this year’s event, the Hire & Rental Industry Association (HRIA) celebrated 50 years of Australian Hire Industry Conventions! Taking place from the 30th – 31st May at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre the show was host to over 1500 attendees and 100 exhibitors making it the biggest and most successful convention to date.

Vertikal Days, the UK’s largest lifting equipment event, ran from the 16th-17th May and we’re now reflecting on just how brilliant it was. Situated in the heart of England, Donington Park hosted this year’s event for the first time and a record number of 2680 visitors attended, making it the biggest show to date.

Executive Hire Show 2018 is just over the horizon and will be making its grand return to the Ricoh Arena in Coventry on 7th - 8th February.

The Executive Hire Show will soon be returning to the popular Ricoh Arena in Coventry on the 8th-9th February and we’re again thrilled to be exhibiting our award-winning hire management software.

It is with great pleasure, that we announce that inspHire have been awarded Supplier of the Year 2016. We attended the Hire Awards of Excellence, hosted by TV and Radio personality, Jeremy Vine, on Saturday night at 8 Northumberland Avenue and brought home this prestigious award.
