Lockexpo 2016

This was probably the best and most visited show we have ever staged. Visitor numbers were up on last year; Sunday was the best we ever had, people were still arriving at 14:00.There are a number of videos now on youtube - www.youtube.com

Exhibitors reported brisk trade and 45 have asked to reserve the same spot for next March (4/5th March 2017).

Each year I marvel at how we have exceeded the look and feel of the show from previous years and last year I thought we had topped out......WRONG! The setup was amazing, stands built and staffed, plenty of giveaways.It looked amazing - do come next year it will go up another notch I am sure. There was a hubbub all day long and the bars in the hotel and around Nottingham swelled by thirsty locksmiths. The bring and buy sale was a huge success and will be repeated.

We have lots of new ideas for 2017 so look out for all our news.

Don't forget for those into Auto locksmithing or those thinking they may well like to find out more ALEXPO 1/2 Oct at The Belfry Nottingham - see the advert this site.

A huge thanks to Exhibitors, the sponsor UAP Tradelocks and all the visitors that make this event the success it is.

Mike and the whole team.
