ShD Scotland - the first of three brand-new regional material handling shows from IMHX organiser Quartz - was a resounding success and paves the way for further exhibitions in the region.

Held at Glasgow’s SECC on 22 and 23 April, ShD Scotland featured over 50 companies and a live demonstration area. A showcase of innovative ideas to help reduce costs and maximise supply chain efficiency, the show attracted specifiers, buyers and decision-makers from a wide range of industries and from across the region.

Event director Rob Fisher said: “We’ve certainly proved the worth of this new venture. There’s a clear demand for a regional handling show in Scotland and we’ve had pleasing feedback from exhibitors, including some fantastic results over the two days.” Steve Surridge, UK sales manager for Aisle-Master Ltd, said: “We were extremely satisfied with the leads we took. They represented a good cross-section of potential customers from a diverse variety of sectors.” The company even managed to sell its display model off the stand to a local customer.

There will be a further two regional handling events this year: ShD South East takes place on 17 September at the Kent Showground, near Maidstone, and ShD South West will be staged at the Westpoint Centre in Exeter on 12 November.
