24th April 2010

FPS EXPO 2010 marked the 30th. Anniversary of the Federation of Petroleum Suppliers' (FPS) Exhibition, with even more exhibitors and a bounty of new product launches at Harrogate International Centre this week.

Exhibitors included truck manufacturers MAN Truck & Bus UK Limited, and Scania, alongside new exhibitors Cameron Forecourt, Cavotec UK Limited, Durapipe UK, Ineos Refining, LIS North Western, Southern Tank Services Limited and S Kalimnos from Greece.

More than 100 exhibitors covered 8,000 square metres in three halls to display the latest equipment, materials and services for the oil distribution and heating industries. During the two day exhibition, FPS hosted a series of free technical and legal workshops with subjects that help shape the future of the oil distribution industry. The exhibition concluded with the annual FPS Awards Dinner.

Vanessa Cook, FPS Marketing & Events Manager comments, "We focused our attention on producing an event for the whole oil distribution industry, which is comprehensive and representative of changes within the sector. It was about brining senior buyers and decision makers together to do business."

Whilst FPS EXPO 2010 may be over, the FPS has already turned its attention to FPS EXPO 2011 which will be held at Harrogate International Centre on Wednesday 13 and Thursday 14 April 2011.
