LiftEx 2010 will be held at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry, and, LEEA said, will allow ‘more exhibitors, better displays and demonstrations, and an extended programme of expert speakers’.

Admission to the show will remain free of charge for visitors.

Geoff Holden, chief executive of the LEEA, said: “Following an extremely successful show in Chester last year, the overwhelming feedback from exhibitors was to run it over two days instead of one, and provide bigger stands to allow more products and services to be highlighted.

“We’re also looking to develop the supporting programme of expert speakers, which proved very popular in 2009.”
