At meeting yesterday the IOG management outlined some of the advantages of moving the Saltex show to the NEC in 2015 after 33 years at Windsor.
The NEC is a real UK success story hosting 75 trade shows a year with a 95 per cent retention level
The venue is within 3 hours drive for 75 per cent of the population
It has first class rail links –a special 25 per cent discount has been negotiated with Virgin Trains
The adjoining airport has excellent links to mainland Europe and now can also accommodate wide bodied jets from more distant locations
Free WiFi
16,500 car parking spaces ( the charge will be £5 per day )
3000 hotel rooms
By the time Saltex 2015 takes place Resort World will be completed offering a wide range of new features, spa, nightclubs, restaurants and more hotel accommodation.
