Made in the Midlands is set to host our second annual East Midlands Exhibition on 17th November from 9am to 4pm at Derby County’s iPro Stadium in the Pedigree Suite. 

This year’s exhibition will see 50-60 East Midlands manufacturers exhibit their company capabilities, which is double the amount that exhibited the previous year. This signifies the continual growth in popularity of Made in the Midlands across the region and reflects the success of last year’s show. 

The focus of the exhibition is to ensure that more East Midlands businesses have a strong platform to promote themselves. In comparison to many of the trade shows that are held across the Midlands, the East Midlands region is underrepresented and often overlooked. This exhibition will provide manufacturing delegates with the opportunity to see what the Midlands has to offer, with a slight emphasis on more of our East Midlands companies.  

Furthermore, our East Midlands Exhibition will welcome a range of new and historic manufacturing companies, including Norton Motorcycles, who will be bringing their buyers to the exhibition. Norton’s CEO, Stuart Garner explained: “Growing and developing the British supply chain is fundamental to Norton’s future success as a British manufacturer. To this end we are delighted to be working with Made in the Midlands and attending our local East Midlands manufacturing show with a view to engaging with more of our potential local suppliers.”

The show is expected to attract over 500 guests that represent the local manufacturing sector and, following the trend over the last year, looks to continue to expand and grow in the coming years. 

Made in the Midlands CEO, Jason Pitt said: “This year’s East Midlands exhibition will see us double our exhibitor size in comparison to last year. We want to see East Midlands manufacturers flourishing and working together and we want to facilitate this for many more years to come. It would be fantastic if we could establish this show to the level of prestige that our West Midlands show has achieved.” 

Made in the Midlands are delighted to be hosting the event in the pristine and spacious Pedigree Suite and can already confirm a selection of exhibitors including: Boneham and Turner, Voestalpine Rotec, Igus, CeraCon, Briggs, O.L.D Engineering, East Midlands Coatings, Portakabin, Hucknall Sheetmetal and many more...

Tickets are available at no cost to Manufacturers and members of Made in the Midlands. If you are a non-manufacturer there is a charge £75 (plus VAT). You will be contacted by a member of our team.
