See what some of the exhibitors at RWM had to say about the show:
“RWM 09 was the best show we have ever exhibited at by far and has proved to be a turning point for our company. Our stand had paid for itself within the first hour of the show and Vehicle Weighing Solutions won between £250,000 and £300,000 worth of business directly as a result of being there. We were able to cement relationships with existing customers and make many totally new contacts. We secured contracts with major customers at RWM including Tarmac, FOSCA, BT and Cambridge City Council. I had no hesitation in rebooking a larger stand for RWM10 as we’ve got to be there!” Julian Glasspole, Managing Director, Vehicle Weighing Solutions Ltd
"It’s been the best RWM yet, and very important for Helesi as a venue for a UK launch, we’ve generated very good quality leads from the local authority and private contractor markets.” Ian Bellamy, Helesi
“We took orders for 24 of our metal recycling machines including all of our display models. That’s more than last year and much more than we were expecting in the current climate. We are also getting more orders from our sales follow up.” Corin Wright, JMC Recycling
“We’ve been absolutely inundated, this is the best RWM in the ten years we’ve been attending. I can’t fault it. Even on the last day it’s been very, very lively. Visitors from the local authority sector have been plentiful and we’ve got some great quality leads.” Fraser Macintyre, Recresco
"Not at all surprised to hear it was the most successful ever. We found the enthusiasm of the visitors remarkable and refreshing. We had no hesitation in re-booking for next year and upgrading to a larger space." PR & Marketing, Summit Systems Ltd & Summit Recycling
"In close cooperation with the organisation we moved to a new and better position at RWM 2009, which turned out to be a success. We have had a very good show with many constructive meetings." Coen van den Brand, Smulders Waste Technology B.V.
"Everything at the RWM show went smoothly and I could not of asked for any more support from the Emap team." Vicki Hulse, B&M
"It was an ideal opportunity to interact with the total spectrum of companies in the waste and recycling sector from service providers to machine manufacturers - they were all here and in greater than expected numbers." Denis Davies, Invest Thames Gateway
"The meet the buyer event was very well organised and run, the staff were very helpful, ten out of ten." Ray Lawless, SkipTracks
"It was the first time we had exhibited, the decision was late (4 weeks prior to the event) and I took advice on stand position from the Emap sales team - we had a brilliant position, and the show exceeded our expectations in terms of quality." Simon Fisher, Ware 4 Bins & Recycling
“RWM is an extremely important event in our promotional calendar. We always end up with good leads, and by March we’ve converted them into a profit. It also functions as a great networking opportunity: current customers arrange meetings with us here so it’s a good way to catch up. I also make sure to invite new staff here for a day just to give them an idea of the size and complexity of the waste management industry.” P&L Software System, Julie Emery-Priest
“RWM is the best opportunity for meeting new prospective clients, and as the industry develops the venue brings together the established key players.” Pearson Separation Machinery, Managing Director, Chris Pearson
