Held at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry, from the 29 – 30 October 2014, the RCI Show will showcase the biggest and the best from across the roofing, cladding and insulation industry, and as such, the organisers say it is fitting that KNAUF Insulation has come on board as the show’s main sponsor.
"Since its launch back in September 2013, I am extremely pleased with the support we have received from the industry, and this has enabled us to make huge strides in bringing together the biggest roofing show ever to be staged in the UK, which ticks all the boxes for both visitors and exhibitors,” explained RCI Show event director Tony Brown.
According to Tony, the news that KNAUF Insulation has become main show sponsor further reaffirms the strength of the RCI Show as a launch event, and highlights the progress the show has made in such a short space of time.
"We are thrilled to be able to announce KNAUF Insulation as main show sponsor for the RCI Show 2014," he continued. "KNAUF are well known and respected within the construction industry and they will bring a wealth of knowledge, expertise and innovative products to the RCI Show.
"This key appointment comes on top of securing close to 100 exhibitors in the last eight months and increasing the exhibition space from 4,000m2 to 5,000m2 to accommodate the demand. With just six months to go until the October show date and the RCI Show at 80% capacity, I would advise any potential exhibitors to sign up quickly whilst we still have space available."
Recent additions to the RCI Show exhibitor list include key players such as Firestone BP, Celotex, Sandtoft, Kingspan Insulation, Xtratherm, Metrotile and Carlisle Construction, but as Tony explains, it's not just the volume of exhibitors who have come on board which pleases the organisers, it's the broad cross section of the market who will be represented at the RCI Show which he feels is crucial.
Tony explained: "We have been able to attract strong representation from the pitched roofing, flat roofing, cladding, insulation, rooflights, safety and tool sectors, as well as merchants and distributors. This will ensure a beneficial show for visitors, there really will be something for everyone."
In addition to the main stands, SIG Live will be a major feature at the RCI Show 2014. This will see SIG present a number of live demonstrations in an amphitheatre-style setting and visitors will be able to ask questions, interact and get up close to the leading roofing suppliers' products, materials and new innovative solutions.
Tony concluded: "The RCI Show will offer a wide range of benefits for the exhibitors and visitors alike, as an example we have the RCI Show discount voucher cheque book which enables exhibitors to reward visitors with discounts and prizes.
"Also the first 1,000 pre reg visitors will receive a free £5 lunch voucher, free parking plus free coffee and Danish on arrival, so sign up quick. We will keep you updated of further developments as we approach the October show date.”
