SED opens to high attendance

SED the UK’s premier construction equipment show opened its doors today, with what appeared to be a record number of visitors, with long traffic queues and nearly full parking lots by 10 am. This in spite of the cool, but dry, weather.

Most exhibitors reported excellent traffic and business.
