Service Dealer
EQUIP SPECIAL REPORT
Now wholly owned by the OPEI, our UK contingent who attended were able to compare both how an exhibition is staged in the U.S and how the American sector is faring.
It was my privilege to pay a visit once again to what I believe is the largest outdoor power equipment trade show in the world, Equip Expo.
This time around I was lucky enough to attend the Louisville, Kentucky event with a Service Dealer contingent composed of owner of the magazine Duncan Murray-Clarke and the winners of the OPEI's competition that ran through our pages, dealer Pete McArthur of Strathbogie Forest & Garden and turf professional Danny Lewis, landscape contracts manager at Manchester City FC.
In this Digital Special Report you can hopefully gain a flavour of what this incredible show can offer the visiting UK dealer.
You will find some bite-sized interviews with some of the exhibitors who caught the eye of Service Dealer’s delegation – plus some longer, feature-length videos of a fascinating panel discussion comparing the U.S and UK sectors and a chat with Kris Kiser, head of the show’s owners.
We hope you enjoy and perhaps are inspired to make the trip yourself.
