AROUND THE INDUSTRY

Hillhead announces further extension

A new 70 m-long structure will be sited alongside the existing Registration Pavilion to boost its capacity to 90 exhibitors. “With the Main Pavilion selling out before the end of last year and enquiries still flooding in, we have made the decision to extend again,” says event director Richard Bradbury. “This will create the opportunity for another 30 exhibitors to attend.” With only a handful of outdoor stands left to allocate, Hillhead 2018 will host more than 500 exhibitors for the first time. Visitor registration is open for the event, which takes place from 26-28 June at Hillhead Quarry, near Buxton. www.hillhead.com CDE announces massive expansion CDE, a leading global wet processing equipment company, has bought the Caterpillar Northern Ireland manufacturing facility on Monkstown.
