LONDON: The new World of Paving and Hard Landscaping shows have seen a "steady flow of industry professionals registering for the events", said event director, Steven Callaghan. 

Recent sign-ups for the show – on 24-25 March at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry – include brands like Kubota and Probst, joining ACO, Boddingtons, NCC Streetscape and Instarmac.

"Visitors are excited at the prospect of discovering some lesser known products rubbing shoulders with the 'big-boys'," said Mr Callaghan.

There will also be live demonstrations in the Demo Zone. There will also be an Innovations Zone, a Knowledge Campus – with live training – and the Artisans Avenue, hosted by award-winning garden designer Claudia de Yong.

"The Project of the Year Awards will make these events a must-see for all in the trade and promise to be a great springboard into the 2010 season," Mr Callaghan stated.
