UK: Four Oaks Trade Show 2018 kicks off

The Four Oaks Trade Show kicks off today. For two days, September 4 and 5, close to 400 companies are presenting their products and services at the 23 acre Four Oaks nursery site in Cheshire UK. Currently, the exhibition covers an area of 17,000m² under glass with additional outdoor areas.

Plants are the most prominent feature of the show, accounting for over 50% of exhibiting companies, with associated supplies and services from production to point-of-sale. Exhibits include a wide range of glasshouse equipment and machinery from seeders and handling equipment to fully automated transplanting systems. Over 40 percent of the exhibiting companies are from overseas.

The show just started and is in full swing already and exhibitors and visitors are heavily posting photos on their social media pages. We also received some pictures of exhibitor Macpac. Below, the pictures and an overview of the pictures that were posted this morning to give you an impression of the show.

"This year Macpac has booked a double stand with lots to exhibit and talk about including the extended Plantpac range, the Large Letterbox Pack designed to be posted at the large letter Royal Mail postage rate to keep delivery costs to a minimum for mail order nurseries. There's also Snap In, the perfect solution for anything from large heavy products such as large plants to numerous solutions in the food sector."
