Pats Telford is to be held in three halls at Telford International Centre on 26 and 27 September, rather than the previous two. Organisers report that more than 170 companies have already booked their stand space, with 30 of the exhibitors attending for the first time. The final total is expected to be around 190 exhibitors, which would be a record for a PATS show. Online registrations for visitors are also above expectations, it is reported.
