Kent Event Centre today announces it has won the contract to host the FFX Tool Show in 2015.
The event, taking place Friday 27 February to Sunday 1 March in the venue’s brand new Maidstone Exhibition Hall, is expected to attract over 10,000 visitors to its new home.
The FFX Tool Show, organised and run by FFX, is a dedicated shopping event for tradesmen and DIY-ers looking to buy power and hand tools. Visitors to the event will be able to watch live demos of the latest products in the industry and receive expert advice directly from manufacturers and FFX staff. Building on the success of previous shows the organiser will more than double the size of the 2014 event which will be set in approximately 5,000 square metres of indoor exhibition space, which is large enough for over 200 lorries.
Kent Event Centre’s Manager, Alison Wallington, says: “We are delighted to have won the contract to host the FFX Tool Show in 2015. We are the largest events facility in the county and have the necessary space to help the FFX Tool Show grow.”
FFX Founder and Chairman, John Drinkwater, says: “Having outgrown our previous venue FFX needed to find a bigger and better location for 2015. When we discovered the Kent Event Centre, we knew we had found the perfect venue. The newly built Maidstone Exhibition Hall with state of the art facilities is ideally located in the heart of Kent and its large, fully accessible indoor space is a perfect solution for us to showcase our exhibition. The main Maidstone Exhibition Hall is the perfect setting for our event to grow and we are looking forward to working with the team at The Kent Event Centre for many years to come.”
