Prominent at Coach & Bus UK will be the miniplus Area. Designed around the needs of minicoach and minibus operators, it will bring together exhibitors and attendees across both days of the NEC show
Attendees at Coach & Bus UK (CBUK) will find that they have the perfect opportunity to visit the miniplus Area.
Making its debut this year, the miniplus Area is set to be the ideal place for fleet managers, local authority planners, operators, stakeholders and community transport providers to come together and talk to the suppliers that make their operations tick. They will also be able to network with their peers throughout the two-day show.
Hosted by leading trade title miniplus, the Area is dedicated solely to operators of small- and medium-sized passenger carrying vehicles, and it is set to be an unmissable port of call for those that are looking to refresh their offering and provide an even better service to their passengers.
Coming together as an industry
The miniplus Area will bring together exhibitors in the small vehicle sector to demonstrate the latest equipment and supplies available in this growing sector of the market.
Suppliers will display purpose-built vehicles fitted with modern accessible aids including step-free design, wheelchair lifts, seats and other safety items, along with showcasing conversion services for those buyers with bespoke requirements.
Confirmed exhibitors in the miniplus Area include Cogent Passenger Seating, GM Coachwork, Kiel Seating, London Hire, NMI Safety Systems, Nu-Track, Phoenix Seating, Rescroft, TBC Conversions, Treka Bus and Unwin Safety Systems.
Doing business
Addition of the miniplus Area to CBUK represents an extension of the popular show sector dedicated to the minicoach and minibus industry, and it gives operators and suppliers alike a space to come together and discuss business. To help them do that, within the Area will be the miniplus Lounge. It will provide a quiet and discrete area for discussion and to finalise business deals.
Entry to the miniplus Area is open to all CBUK attendees. The Area is situated at the heart of the show, meaning that access to all of the other exhibitors involved in the small vehicle sector that are within the main halls is simple, and several are immediately adjacent.
Also nearby is The Theatre, meaning that visitors will be able to take in the wide variety of presentations by industry leaders that will take place there.
