Deconstruction Timings: During the first hour of breakdown, only de-dressing & product removal may take place. Small trolleys may be used but stand contractors will not be allowed into the hall until all visitors are clear and it is considered safe to open the loading doors at approximately 1800 hrs.
Parking & Vehicle Access: Exhibitors should park in the usual car parks on Tuesday. At the close of show, exhibitors needing to bring their cars to the hall for loading should return to their car parks from where they will be given priority access to the halls for loading as soon as all visitors have left. Exhibitors with vans or lorries should park in the South Lorry Park from 0715hrs and return to their vehicle at the close of show. Vans will be given access to the hall as soon as exhibitors cars are clear, and lorries will be given access thereafter. The Lorry Parks are also open from 0715 hrs for space only contractors.
Shell Scheme Stand Clearing: All shell scheme stands should be cleared of product on Tuesday evening during the de-dressing phase. If it is going to take longer, it is essential for all staff remaining in the halls to have been briefed with the Site Rules and wear appropriate PPE.
Security: Please remove all portable items of value as quickly as possible and do not leave stands unattended until they have gone.
Waste: All exhibits, standfitting materials, excess waste, flooring and carpet tape must be removed from the hall – nothing whatsoever may be abandoned on-site. Charges will be levied for clearance and disposal costs for anything left abandoned – including boxes of brochures.
Dilapidations: Each stand space will be checked once vacated to check that no damages have been caused to the fabric of the building; should damages be found, the cost for repair work will be passed back to the relevant exhibitor. Space only contractors are advised to report to the Organiser’s Office prior to leaving to arrange this check.
Site Rules & PPE: Everyone working in the halls after 1800 hrs on Tuesday and throughout Wednesday must wear appropriate PPE and have been inducted with the show site rules. High vis and enclosed footwear are mandatory.
