Torque-expo UK 2022
SOME OF THE BRANDS ALREADY SUPPORTING THE EVENT...
TORQUE-EXPO IS ABOUT MEETING AND TALKING FACE-TO-FACE TO AN AUDIENCE OF SENIOR DECISION-MAKERS
Face-to-face exhibitions present a strong platform for companies to network with like-minded industry peers, meet new potential prospects and forge long lasting customer relationships. Exhibitions also play a vital role in promoting new products and services, and this has been sorely missed over the last 18 months. Torque-Expo is excited to announce plans to bring the industry together this year in a focused, compact one-day event…
The Exhibition Centre at Telford will play host to a new-look Torque-Expo UK, offering a B2B exhibition, a substantial conference programme, an innovation zone showcasing new and unusual products and a networking awards evening at the World Heritage Site of Ironbridge, which is just a 5 minute shuttle service away. A compact and cost-effective event, maximising time out of the office and return on investment. Only 30 minutes away from central Birmingham and on the door step of the West Midlands, the venue is easy to get to with ample free parking and puts the show in the heart of Britain, close to the core of the UK industry and within a two hour drive of 75% of England’s population.
HOW IS TORQUE-EXPO UK 2022 DIFFERENT?
Torque-Expo has taken on board feedback from previous exhibitors who see all the benefits of a one-day national exhibition, and importantly, offers good valuable networking time, where they can freely move around and talk to many of their friends, colleagues and customers. Torque-Expo will provide a ‘full on’ day for the exhibitor and visitor alike, offering a compelling seminar programme throughout the day, followed by evening awards, food, drink and networking.

EXHIBITION SPACE
A new format will see all stands set to a maximum of 20m2, with directional routes throughout the venue. This is good news for the exhibitor as it should present an equal stand space location with visitor traffic, as well as reduce set up times and costs.
First and foremost, Torque-Expo is about meeting and talking face to face to an audience of senior decision-makers (business owners, MDs, senior buyers, and purchasing managers) from wholesalers, independent retailers, multiple retailers, fastener and fixings distributors, hardware and builders’ merchants plus engineer suppliers.
AWARDS
The Torque-Expo Awards, celebrating the best people, products and services in the industry, will be held just a few short miles away at Ironbridge. The Awards offer a perfect networking opportunity centred around a drinks’ reception, canapés, buffet dinner, with awards ceremony.
AWARDS SPONSORSHIP
The Awards also present a great marketing opportunity for partners wishing to sponsor elements of the evening including individual awards, dinner, drinks reception and other aspects of the event, which will be announced nearer the time.
