time on the day and giving you longer to enjoy the show,” says Matthew Knight, event
director.
He continues: “We’ve already got a fantastic range of exhibitors – the world’s best
manufacturers and suppliers – lined up for SALTEX 2017, all of which use the show to
present their latest products and innovations, offers and promotions. Combined with the
show’s unique features, there truly is an opportunity at every turn for anyone involved or
