RWM Announces Headline Sponsors for Biggest Show to Date
6 April 2010 - With 85% of exhibition space already sold out and backing from a host of major industry names, RWM 10 taking place at the NEC, Birmingham from 14 to 16 September is set to be bigger than ever before.
Central to the show will be the new Viridor Visitor Lounge where visitors can network and access web resources. Dan Cooke, external affairs manager for Viridor said: “We are pleased to be supporting one of our industry’s leading events which chimes with our continued focus on quality recycling and promoting resource efficiency. The new visitor lounge provides an excellent facility for RWM guests and, as its sponsor, Viridor will be right at the hub of the exhibition’s networking activity. Delivering essential recycling, renewable energy and waste management services is what it's all about for us, now and in the future – and RWM provides the perfect opportunity for us to share ideas with customers and partners.”
The dynamic outdoor exhibition area already boasts names such as Mercedes Benz, Ford, Isuzu Truck, BMI Municipal, JCB, Terex and Liebherr, while inside hundreds of exhibitors are returning to do business again, and many are investing in larger stands. “RWM is undoubtedly the key event in the industry calendar, and as such we're keen to be involved. Each year we've been so impressed with the quality and quantity of visitors, that we've increased our presence in the show," says Clare Noble, managing director, PHS Group.
Chris Oldfield, managing director, Riverside Waste Machinery says: “The RWM exhibition is without doubt one of the most prestigious trade events the UK is lucky enough to boast...For us at Riverside, there was no better place to unveil the revolutionary UNTHA TR shredder last year. Interest, as expected, was phenomenal and we found ourselves quoting for £17m worth of shredding technology as a result of 150 different enquiries. ..Some industry statistics suggest that the UK’s approach to waste management is trailing behind that of fellow European nations, but after attending an RWM event many would question if that is in fact the case.”
SCA Recycling, due to open a £15 million Materials Recycling Facility in Southampton this summer, and Bywaters have been signed as sponsors of the Local Authority Seminar Theatre, with Motherwell Bridge sponsoring the Energy & Water Theatre.
As a long term supporter of the show, Straight will be exhibiting again this year and has also been named as RWM’s onsite recycling sponsor. “Exhibitions often produce large amounts of unnecessary waste. We want to reduce the amount of waste that is created by the show and is sent to landfill,” explains Jonathan Straight, chief executive, Straight plc.
