Looks like you will have had a good time Matt, hope lots of business comes your way!! Did you do those good looking welds on site while you were there?
Not many FJ. There used to be a 2 yearly exhibition called Weldex held at the NEC. For a long time time it was really great and well attended by exhibitors and visitors alike, but then like most things in the UK it became too expensive so manufacturers decided it wasn't worth the costs, they dwindled and then so did the visitors.
Recently (last 4 yrs) they have tried to revive it and tag it on to another event called MACH. However it's still quite cost prohibitive so based on the last 2 events it still does not represent value for money. The next one is planned for 2014, so maybe it might be better.
There is the worlds biggest oil and gas related exhibition in Aberdeen later this year, but not sure how many welding companies will be exhibiting there
Some really nice kit there, Matt. Job I knocked back in Saudi apparently offer their best student visits to such events to inspire them, I certainly see why!!
