With the show running from Thursday through to the Sunday afternoon we generally see a slow start on the Thursday and peaking on Friday for trade visitors and Saturday for the self-builders/ DIY enthusiasts. However from 11am on the Thursday the first 3 days went with a blur! Sunday was most definitely the quietest day, but it was Mothers Day and the sun was out for the first time in ages! Hopefully the organisers will keep an eye on this for next year because it definitely had an effect on the numbers attending that day.

Just like Ecobuild we always try and take a step back at the end of the show and digest the numbers before coming to a conclusion about how successful we think the show was. We already know, however, in the week or so since the show ended that we can call the show a success. Already we’ve seen the number of quotations requested on the back of the show jump up from the previous years and the number of people viewing our new website has also been much higher than what we have been seeing with the old website over the last few months.

For us, being away from home and our families, for almost a full week is quite hard and very tiring but when we see the results and the feedback we get from people who come and talk to us it makes it all worthwhile and very fulfilling.

If you did come and see us we thank you very much for taking that time out of your day to listen to us ramble on about what we do. If you are still just thinking about what you want to do then we are here to help answer any questions you may have about your future project. If you are further on than that and have something on the drawing board or have even started it and you liked the sound of what we were talking about then please send us over a drawing or two of your project and let us take a look. We can hopefully show you how Lewis or one of our other systems can benefit your project.

If you were just at the show to have a look around and dreaming of a future project that you’d love to do, keep dreaming and we’ll see you next year down there between the 22nd and 25th March 2018.
