Held on 7 November at its usual venue of the National Motorcycle Museum, professional pest controllers from up and down the country arrived at PestTech 2012. Although attendance may have been slightly lower than in previous years, all those who came were eager to find out what was new. The flow of visitors over the day was more staggered, which went down well with exhibitors, as they then had time to discuss matters in a more constructive manner.
As always there was a warm welcome to everyone by PestTech organisers – the National Association of Pest Technicians (NPTA). And as soon as the doors opened at 09.00, the visitors flocked in. All three exhibition halls were full to capacity with the exhibitors’ stands – see list here, and were soon to be joined by the exhibition visitors.
