This will be the 25th anniversary of the popular and well-established
Fishing UK series of shows and the new format is being carefully developed
in close consultation with the fishing industry.
David Moir, Show Manager and former skipper, says Fishing UK 2012 will be an
all-inclusive show for fishermen and their families that will include every
element of the seafood industry, which will showcase the latest developments
and innovation as well as being a great place to do business.
A major focus will be on ensuring that Fishing UK becomes a recognised
meeting place for the Scottish, UK and European fishing industries and we
have an advisory council of industry representatives to develop the show
format, he said.
Amongst the exhibitors at Fishing UK 2012 will be Airmar Technology
Corporation from the USA. The company is a leader in ultrasonic transducers
and sensing technology and this will be the first time that they have been
present at a fishing exhibition in Glasgow.
Other exhibitors include
Anderson Marine, Commercial Oils, Seafield Navigation, Gilbert, Gilkes &
Gordon, Seatronics, Finning UK, Craemar UK, Norsap UK, CC Jensen, Watermota
and Echomaster.
There will be new boat displays and we are also looking to include seafood
processors and logistics providers into Fishing UK 2012 to ensure every
sector is represented from sea to plate, said David Moir.
The fishing industry has ownership of Fishing UK and influence over its
content and this is why we are confident that it will prove a real success.
Fishing UK 2012 is organised by QD Events and will take place from 22 to 24
March 2012 at the SECC, Glasgow from 10am to 5pm Thursday & Friday, and 10am
to 4pm Saturday. More details www.fishingexpo.co.uk
