Demo Expo 2017 –A free day out to the UK’s Biggest and Best Demolition Show!

The third edition of the joint National Federation of Demolition Contractors and Institute of Demolition Engineers event -Demo Expo - will be running this summer at a location close to the offices of the NFDC in Hertfordshire, at the Herts Showground.

This biennial event last ran in 2015 with over 50 exhibitors at the site of J Mould in Reading, where beautiful weather helped to secure a 4,000 strong crowd to the 2-day event. This year’s show has been extended to a 3-day event to include Trade Days on 22-23 June, plus a Family Day on Saturday 24th June.

Big names have already confirmed attendance at the Build UK-partnered show including Marubeni Komatsu, Atlas Copco, Finning CAT, JCB Sales and Liebherr GB.

The show’s organisers hope to have a repeat of the climactic conditions of 2 years ago, and see upwards of 6,000 people over the course of the 3 days. 

Trade Days: Thursday 22nd and Friday 23rd June
