SED day one

A sunny but windy SED exhibition got off to a good start on day one with minimal traffic problems - both in and out. This was probably helped by the reduced numbers of exhibitors and possibly visitors. Halving the physical size of the show certainly helped its 'busy' feel with most stands reporting a good amount of traffic through until early afternoon. There were however several 'empty spaces' in the middle of the show - a sign of the times.

Here we have a selection of some of the highlights.
