Business rains down on IOG SALTEX exhibitors

Business rains down on IOG SALTEX exhibitors

Despite the fact that the heavens opened frequently throughout the first day of IOG SALTEX, exhibitors at the Windsor show were reporting a high number of serious enquiries and, indeed, equipment sales, from the over 2,600 visitors to the showground. And with much better weather expected on Wednesday, the forecast is for a bumper day – for visitors as well as exhibitors

Meanwhile, the evening of the opening day of IOG SALTEX was the time for the annual Service Dealer Industry Awards, organised by Service Dealer magazine and the AEA, and sponsored by Stihl, Briggs & Stratton, Lucas Fettes and AgriArgo UK.
