From 16 to 18 September 2008, you’ll find us together with a whole host of Dig A Screener and Dig A Crusher products at the NEC in Birmingham for the Recycling & Waste Management exhibition and conference.
We have supported this show for the past few years and have been very impressed at how it has grown to become the foremost show of its kind.
If you’re in the recycling and waste management business, then be sure to visit us on Stand 126.
Further details of the exhibition and conference can be found here: http://www.rwminfo.com
For anyone looking to view our latest product innovations first-hand, we’ll be taking the Dig A Screener roadshow to the SALTEX 2008 exhibition at Windsor Race Course in Berkshire on 2 – 4 September 2008.
As well as the usual products from the Dig A Screener and Dig A Crusher product lines, you’ll be able to see a couple of exciting new additions to the range, including one that we expect you to find extremely “attractive” if you’re required to handle steel reinforcing bar and other metals.
So, if you’re in the area, call by and see what we have to offer. You’ll find us on stand W46/W47. Details of the SALTEX show can be found here: http://www.iogsaltex.co.uk
I am a regular visitor to the website of the National Federation of Demolition Contractors (http://www.demolition-nfdc.com) and have been alarmed by the numerous recent reports of attachment thefts hitting contractors in this sector.
While they’re not, perhaps, as high profile as the theft of an excavator, these products are quite clearly being stolen to order, a fact that suggests a worrying organised crime involvement. Furthermore, many of these attachments are valued at well over £50,000 and their loss often halts production on a demolition project.
Although our customers have thankfully been largely theft-free to date, we would urge Dig A Screener and Dig A Crusher customers to protect them with the use of the many anti-theft products on offer today and to ensure that their attachments each has a unique Thiefbeaters ID number http://www.thiefbeaters.com/plant.html
I read an interesting piece at demolitionnews.wordpress.com on the forthcoming National Recycling Awards 2008. Although entries close later this month, the organisers are “calling on companies in the construction sector to enter the Valpak Waste Minimisation Project of the Year category”.
As a manufacturer and distributor of equipment, we are not permitted to enter in this category. However, according to our calculations, Dig A Screener and Dig A Crusher products have been directly responsible for eliminating several million tonnes of material from the waste stream and we would encourage users of our products to seriously consider entering this prestigious competition.
I have returned from my guest speaker slot at the last of the 2008 Institute of Demolition Engineers’ roadshow events (8 August 2008). The event took place at the superb Mercedes-Benz World in Weybridge, Surrey and brings to a conclusion what has been a great series of events for us which started several months ago in Glasgow and which also made a stop in the Midlands.
It has given us an opportunity to speak face-to-face with some of the UK’s leading demolition contractors, many of whom were seeing the Dig A Screener and Dig A Crusher products for the first time.
