Bigger and better - WJA Trade Show 2025 is on track for success
Interest in WJA Trade Show 2025, the primary exhibition for the UK water jetting industry, is strong with half of stands already booked six months before the event.
The Water Jetting Association is holding its exhibition - again free to attend - at StoneX Stadium, North London, on Thursday 11thSeptember.
The event promises to present ‘The World of Water Jetting in One Place' and follows the success of the inaugural WJA Trade Show at the same venue in 2024.
WJA Chairman Lee O'Callaghan said: "We're delighted with demand for stands at WJA Trade Show 2025. Interest is firmly in line with the positive feedback we received about the first exhibition.
"As with last year, we are planning to have a wide mix of exhibitors from across the UK water jetting industry at WJA Trade Show 2025, many of them WJA members.
"It will also have a strong international flavour, with non-UK companies also taking stands, knowing it will be a valuable opportunity to meet prospective new UK clients and partners in one location."
WJA Trade Show 2025 is offering a third more stands than 12 months ago, including two outdoor display areas for large equipment instead of just one last year.
Returning to the Olympic Hall at the home of Premiership rugby club Saracens, the WJA plans to recreate the "buzz" enjoyed by both exhibitors and visitors at last year's event.
WJA Director Leanne Smith said: "We expect to attract substantially more visitors to WJA Trade Show 2025. We learned a lot last year, and we're confident this year's event will be even better, as well as bigger.
"All forms of water jetting will be represented, with contractors, manufacturers, hire and sales specialists and training providers already booked in as exhibitors.
"Equipment for all sectors that use water jetting, including drainage and water utilities, petrochemicals, oil and gas, construction, and cleaning, will also be on show.
"It's the one day of the year that all aspects of water jetting, plus all the experts, will be in one place together, so it's an ideal event for equipment and services sellers and buyers, alike."
The WJA is also offering four organisations the opportunity to be WJA Trade Show 2025 sponsors, with two already taken. Sponsors will have additional marketing opportunities before, during and after the event.
Exhibitors were unanimously positive about last year's exhibition.
David Beckington, Vice-President International Sales, NLB Corporation, said:"This is an amazing event. For the first year, the amount of people here, the way it has been organised, all of it is top notch."
David Ma, Director of nozzle manufacturer Fluid Water Jetting, said: "I knew this was a good opportunity for our company. We could meet a lot of potential customers. For the first show, it's fantastic."
Gavin Beedle, Managing Director of hire, sales and service specialist AQ Rent/Doornbos Equipment UK, said: "It's a great networking event. Everyone is here, and there's everything high pressure and safety related."
Steve Smith, Managing Director of Flowplant Group, and a member of the WJA Board, said: "It's been amazing. We've had a really good show. The reaction from visitors has been really, really good."
Mark Malsom, Sales Manager at nozzle manufacturer ENZ, described attending WJA Trade Show 2024 as "a very smart decision", adding: "It's turned out to be very worthwhile. We've closed some deals."
The Water Jetting Association is the member body for the UK water jetting industry. WJA Trade Show 2025 will take place the day after the WJA's annual general meeting, which is being held at the same venue.
