Bill do you think this means the UK market is not that important to some of the major players. If you where to look at Cemat all the big manufactures was there and if you look at Bauma there was some big companies so it just might be that the UK is not as important to there business. Large manufactures need to concentrate on certain markets to get the best for there company. Kion need to keep there position in Germany and main land Europe ,
some east Asian companies need to concentrate on the growth in china. The end result will be a loss of exhibitors to smaller show's like IMHX.
