Members of Hardware Association Ireland, together with various industry representatives, turned out at Citywest Hotel recently for the official launch of The Hardware Show 2019.
In preparation for 2019, an extensive review was undertaken of all three potential venues – the RDS, Citywest, and Punchestown. Various show features that had previously existed were considered, together with the vast potential to expand upon these. Annemarie Harte, CEO of the association, tells HC that exhaustive research has led to new ideas, subsequently allowing for the mapping out of a clinical, tailor-made floor plan for the upcoming show. She is also delighted with the increasing numbers of garden retail exhibitors and visitors and intends to build on this segment for the 2019 show. It was decided that the show will take place on 17 and 18 February 2019, in Citywest, a venue boasting over 3,100m² of floor space. While the venue may dictate a slightly more limited number of features, it will more than make up for this with a significant increase in comfort
