Executive Hire Show 2024

The Executive Hire Show team has confirmed the next event is scheduled for February 14th and 15th of 2024, returning once again to its regular home at the Coventry Building Society Arena in Coventry.

“While the UK economy has improved, we're still facing challenges such as rising interest rates. However, the plant hire sector remains strong, continues to do well and is seeing plenty of positive activity,” said the organisers. “This is great news for everyone involved, from the hire market to the various sectors rely on it. The push for net zero continues to gather pace, and there's a clear increase in interest and investment in alternative energy sources, sustainable solutions and new technologies that promise to revolutionise the way we do business.

“Looking back to the recent ‘Kick-Off’ meeting at CBS Arena in September, there’s already a buzz about the 2024 show,” the EHS team continued. “96% of the stands have now been sold and just six stands remain for sale. A total of 24 first-time exhibitors will be joining the show in 2024, pushing the boundaries of innovation and ensuring an ever-changing mix of products to tempt and tantalise EHS visitors. The Kick-Off meeting also saw a great mix of regulars and new faces, all eager to get a piece of the action and do some networking.”

Chris Moore, the show’s Publishing and Events Director said, “2023 was a record-breaking year with the show witnessing an overwhelming attendance of over 2,000 hire professionals, a testament to the resilience of the compact plant hire and equipment industry even amidst economic challenges. The 2023 show set a benchmark, with collaboration at its heart. We anticipate an even bigger and better event in 2024.”

One of the highlights for 2024 will be the Innovation Trail. Peter Haddock from Content with Media will be back, doing live interviews on the stands that will be shared on social media channels. The focus will be on new tech, sustainability and anything that makes tasks easier, safer or more environmentally friendly. Peter is also planning to create a live blog, which was a big hit at the 2022 event.  

Before the main show, there are a couple of ‘Road Show’ events. The next one is on October 24th, from 2pm to 7pm at the Marriott in Glasgow, G3 8RR. After that, EHS organisers say there will be a brand new ‘Wales & West’ road show on November 22nd. Taking place at the Coldra Court Hotel in Newport, NP18 2LX, it is ideally located for Welsh and west country-based hirers.
