Queensland Mining and Engineering Exhibition - Queensland's Central Meeting Place for Mining and Engineering

Exhibitor Testimonals about QME 2006

“Great, fantastic! We’ve got 37 suppliers in the Blackwoods pavilion and we've had well over 100 really solid inquiries. All of them are really happy. We’ve had inquiries across all industries: sugar, mining, construction and local infrastructure. Strategically, QME is a great opportunity for us and our suppliers to meet customers, both existing and new, and to network. We know that the Blackwoods pavilion will be even bigger in 2008, with new suppliers wanting to exhibit and existing exhibitors doubling their stand space.”

Andy Reid, BLACKWOODS

“Very good. It's a very important show for us. QME continually gets better each show and we've been able to grow our business significantly because of it. We've had a lot of interest from all market sectors, but particularly from the mining industry.”

“There has been plenty of traffic and we’ve made some good contacts. We have been developing our Amercable business here over the past three years, and we are predominantly using Reed Mining Events to establish a presence in the market. We were at the Mining and Energy Exhibition in the Hunter Valley in mid 2005, and we’ll be using GME to help us move into the WA market – and then we are taking a major presence at AIMEX next year as part of our thrust into the Australian mining sector. The quality of the Reed shows gives us excellent exposure to potential customers.”

David Nasky - AMERCABLE

“We had three objectives when attending QME: to raise the profile of our business, to meet new prospects and to re–establish contact with existing clients. We are happy to report that we’ve achieved all three. We’ve seen the right people in the right numbers, and generated good leads.”

“We are very happy; we’ve seen the right quality of people at QME and in good volumes. We’ve got some great leads to follow up. As a result of our success at QME, Powertrans has doubled the amount of space we’ll be taking at GME as part of a renewed push into the WA market – and we’ll definitely be at AIMEX. The Reed series of mining exhibitions are well organised, good quality and deliver excellent value for money.”

“By lunchtime on the first day, we had connected with more of our target market buyers than over three or four days at any other trade show we’d ever been at. We had genuine account applications happening from the start, with a broad cross-section of people visiting our stand wanting product information and pricing. We set some challenging objectives for the show and I’m delighted to say that we reached these objectives by early afternoon on the first day. There has been enquiries from a wide selection of industry, including earthmoving, mining, building, road construction, engineering and many related smaller businesses that service these markets. We’ve even picked up two large enquiries from other exhibitors. Overall, we have been amazed at the response and interest shown to our product ranges and certainly intend booking into other Reed mining exhibitions on the strength of QME 2006.”
