GB Motorcycle Trade Expo

Advance ticket applications +20 percent for GB Motorcycle Trade Expo

January 18th - 20th, Stoneleigh Park, Coventry, UK

Celebrating its 20th anniversary in two weeks, it looks like being a great year for exhibitors at this year's annual GB Trade Expo.
Organised by the publishers of British Dealer News, one of Europe's leading motorcycle industry dealer magazines, some 150 exhibitors will benefit from a post-recession growth in attendance that started some three years ago, and sees advance ticket applications currently running at 20 percent up on the same time last year.
Now being staged at a favourite former venue for the event (Stoneleigh Park near Coventry), the GB Trade Expo is both Europe's largest and longest established motorcycle trade-only event, and is bound to benefit this year from the strong growth now being seen in the UK new motorcycle registrations data released by the MCIA - the UK's motorcycle industry trade association..New registrations were up by +16.8 percent in November (5,020 units) and +8.8 percent for October (6,477 units), representing the ninth consecutive month of UK market growth. For the period January to November 2014 UK motorcycle registrations were +11.7 percent at 86,689 units, compared to +0.5 percent (77,629 units) at the same stage of 2013.


In total PTW registration terms, November was +14.5 percent (at 5,795 units), while October was +6.5 percent (7,445 units). This sees an increase of +10.2 percent for the first eleven months of the year (96,723 units).
With Suzuki among those added to the exhibitor line-up recently Andy Mayo, Sales Director, said: “we are delighted to welcome Suzuki on board in our 20th anniversary year. To attract a Japanese manufacturer back to Expo is a real coup and gives Expo a further dimension in attracting the Suzuki dealer network and prospective new dealers looking to complement or add to their 2015 line-ups. "More than 20 motorcycle and scooter brands will be represented at Stoneleigh Park, as well as new models and new opportunities for dealers to add to their bottom line".
