PHEX shows - do you attend?

[Mark Haywood]

Hello All
I am considering attending the PHEX shows as a manufacturer, before investing time and money in this I wonder if you can give me your thoughts on the following, if you visit;
Do you find it of interest
Main reason for attending
How far you travel (I know that they are not as wide spread as could be!)

Appreciate any feedback, thanks

Went a couple of years ago to the one at Newcastle, about a hour to get to. Was pretty good as was the first one I'd been too. Good for stocking up on pads pens etc.

Will go again next time it's on up here, technically it was a good trip.

I have never bothered, but now I'm interested, that's some worthwhile stuff you picked up.
probably one more pen would have been better!

Off to PHEX tomorrow, but shan't be collecting freebies, as I have to go on to a meeting that evening, and don't want to struggle across London laden down with stuff.

Anything specific I should look out for tomorrow?

 

[galaxy_plumbing]

well I was interested in new magnaclean filter which is coming out in January, which I think is much better than previous model, there was also stand for Uponor, they were showing some new technique how to connect plastic pipes, which I never seen before, just hard to tell how long it will last. Well, everybody is interested in different things, so hard to tell. Have a look at Callmag too, they making chemicals and had there some funny way of injecting chemicals into system, and some pretty girls

 

[Barry98]

Pretty girls hey

 

[galaxy_plumbing]

almost forgot, got 50page landlords pad for £5 from jbpm stand if anyone interested.

 

[Destroyer2813]

Yeah the pretty girl's in very short skirts were advertizing a boiler of some sort cheap v something or other wasn't really paying attention to the boiler to be fair, the new magnaclean does look a improved design

 

[Destroyer2813]

[Barry98]

[galaxy_plumbing]
