With all the stands now sold, Oktoberfest 2011 is gearing up to be the best yet.

90 plus exhibitors will participate in the manufacturing and engineering showcase event which takes place on Wednesday, October 19that the XCEL Centre, Newton Aycliffe.

Now in its fourth year, Oktoberfest is organised by the private sector to provide manufacturing and engineering companies with the chance to promote the range of skills and services which give these industries such a good reputation.

One of the engineering companies preparing to attend is Cordell Group.   Last year’s event saw the Stockton based company attract a great deal of interest from a diverse range of buyers who were keen to know more about the Group’s engineering competencies, including multi-disciplined project management, fabrication, construction, design, manufacturing, installation, maintenance, testing and commissioning services.

Helen Carroll, Sales Co-ordinator, Cordell Group, said; “One area that did interest a number of delegates that spoke to us was our term contracts and maintenance agreements.  The exhibition gave us the ideal opportunity to engage with potential clients and demonstrate our experience and expertise in their field.”

This year, Cordell Group are looking to again use this premier platform to build relationships with new and prospective clients by clearly illustrating their growth and achievements since the last event.
