Change of venue and hot food

The UK trade show Totally DIY is on the move again. The show will be held on 10 to12 February 2013 at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry in conjunction with Totally Tools, having moved in 2010 from London to Birmingham. The organiser Brintex has also announced further changes: the stand size will be limited in future to 50 m² to encourage bigger brand manufacturers to participate, because costs can be limited in this way. Buyers visiting the fair are also to be entertained and will receive a hot meal during their visit. A closer working relationship with the consultancy firm Insight DIY is being implemented in a bid to attract more DIY store operators as visitors alongside the wholesale and retail trade.
