With a pronounced technical emphasis, and focusing on current and imminent industry opportunities, the exhibition is open to both members and non-members and anyone interested in participating can find out more on the BULKEX18 website www.bulkex.co.uk  

Adopting the successful format from last year’s event, John Connolly, MHEA’s President, said, “BULKEX is the premier event for those in the bulk materials handling sector. With about 50 spaces for exhibitors to showcase their products and services, and visitors that include industry buyers, suppliers, and specialists, we are tremendously excited about BULKEX18 as we celebrate 80 years supporting members.  

“Our conference programme will build on the 2017 programme, and we anticipate an eminent list of guest speakers that will have a broad appeal. We would encourage anyone planning exhibiting to book their space as soon as possible. Equally, those businesses who have innovative case studies or new projects, should seriously consider speaking at BULKEX18. We are announcing our Call for Papers – senior industry thinkers and business leaders are invited to submit papers and case studies to share with delegates.”

Wednesday 17 October will see another celebration of the industry’s finest achievements at Eastwood Hall.  2018 is the Government’s Year of the Engineer and the MHEA is supporting the occasion by launching a new award, Engineer of the Year.
