Harrogate International Centre

Harrogate International Centre is delighted to announce that SURFEX will be returning to the venue on the third and fourth of June 2008. 
 
SURFEX is a biennial trade fair for the surface coatings industry.  Their previous three shows have been held at GMEX, Manchester, but SURFEX have now decided to return to Harrogate International Centre, due to its extensive refurbishment.  SURFEX have booked two of HIC's exhibition halls and the organizers are looking forward to greeting many visitors during the event in the heart of the heritage spa town
 
Since their last visit in 2000, HIC has continued to invest in client improvements, including building its award winning Queens Suite, which offers flexible breakout space for up to 600 delegates.  Harrogate has also benefited from the development of three new hotels, including the Hotel Du Vin.
 
Stuart Quin, Director of Harrogate International Centre, explained, "Naturally we are pleased that an established and well respected trade event such as SURFEX has taken the decision to come back to HIC.  It can expect, in 2008, a range of facilities and services that have continued to develop in quality and value for money since the exhibition was last here."
 
He continued, "Add to this, the comprehensive service offered by HIC staff and I feel sure we will be able to meet and surpass SURFEX's expectations.  We greatly look forward to hosting the event and to welcoming exhibitors and visitors in June 2008."
 
Chris Pacey-Day, Company Secretary of SURFEX Limited, added," The modern HIC facilities are just what SURFEX requires. The exhibition continues to evolve and the opportunity to return to the roots of the exhibition is not only exciting but also essential as our industry competes in a truly global market place".
 
Harrogate International Centre is one of the UK's premium event venues with a 2000 seat conference auditorium and eight exhibition halls.
