This year the exhibition was held over its historic three-day timeframe. There was about a 15% increase in exhibitors over 2023, taking it to just short of 400. There were a few I could not quite fit in with the ‘HuntEx’ concept, but there were folk at their stands purchasing their products, so who am I to judge.
Due to circumstances beyond my control, I could not attend on my usual day and had to move my visit out to the Sunday. Although the halls were very full, I was told by many exhibitors that both Friday and Saturday had been busier, with Saturday the peak.
I usually attend onthat the Sunday would see some exhibitors closing early, but that was not the case at all. There was only a single stand I saw with nobody in attendance, but a sign stating they were entirely sold out – excellent business for them!
