Equipment of the Future

Join the South West committee for the eagerly anticipated 'Equipment of the Future' event, hosted by Accredited Contractor Elmtree Garden Contractors, Torrs Farm, Bristol. The Regional AGM will then follow in a more casual setting for South West regional members at the local pub. 

On the day: 

As members battle increasingly strict legislation, rising fuel costs and a wide variety of new technology, we will all need to adapt and be ready for the future of tools and machinery. The Association is thrilled to have developed this one-of-a-kind event, inviting a wide range of equipment manufacturers and suppliers from across the industry to show and demonstrate their latest products and machinery! 

This is a fantastic opportunity for you and your colleagues to have an insightful and informative day learning about the practical features as well as trying out all of the state-of-the-art electrical kit on offer, and get answers to all your questions! It’s also a great chance to network with the manufacturers and other professionals within the industry. 

As with all our events, there will be plenty of time during the day to network with your friends and peers, with lunch included.
