What exhibitors said about GME 2010
‘We’ve had a steady stream of people come through. The aim of the show up here is really to promote our brand and our broad range of capabilities, so we’ve achieved that really well. We’ve also got potential employees come through, because, as you know, it’s very hard to get good people these days, so it’s been invaluable from that point of view. One of the other things that has been really invaluable is the other suppliers we’ve been able to connect with to keep abreast of the new products around the place.’
- Rob Humphryson, Macmahon Holdings
‘GME is an excellent opportunity for our company to be exposed to the mining industry and it is important that we are here. We consider (the results) to have been very good, particularly the first day. We have about 25 solid leads out of our first day. We love the scanning system that GME uses: it enables us to get a full listing of our contacts, to follow them up effectively and quickly, and yeah, it’s looking very good. (We go to other Reed events as well.) We try to get to the Reed event up in Mackay and we are looking at AIMEX and several other ones as well. The benefit is that you need exposure in this industry. There are that many people in the mining, moving in and out of mines, and management and structures within the mining. You need to be here all the time to gain exposure.’
- Dennis Baker, Rhino Linings Australasia
‘We’ve had a big variety of people, from mine managers to operators, and families here this year, so it’s been fantastic. It’s good to be able to promote our equipment and an opportunity to show off our new RCS system, which is available today on the surface equipment as well as the underground, and our launch with the machine behind us, and also with the AS7D, so we have been able to show both of those new machines off, which are an advancement for underground mining and our new advancements in the service equipment.’
