Announcing the agreement, Paul Farrant, managing director of ECI International, said: “The NTDA has been a valued partner and supporter of the exhibition in the past and we are delighted they have agreed to become the major sponsor of the next show in 2010. “Our ambition is to make Brityrex an event which is truly representative of all sectors of the UK tyre industry. We know that the association holds the same view and will help us to realise that goal for 2010. We were delighted with the overall feedback we received from exhibitors and visitors at the 2007 event and believe that we can continue to develop the show further in two years time. Part of that development includes moving to a new slot in September, which we believe will benefit exhibitors and visitors by avoiding clashes with other exhibitions,” NTDA National Chairman, Peter Gaster, said that Brityrex was an important part of the tyre industry calendar: “We feel the exhibition is vitally important to our members, and the industry as a whole, and we are delighted to be providing our active support to the event again in 2010,” he said. “On a personal basis, the last show in 2007 was a great success for my company, KRT, and we have already re-booked our space for 2010. I look forward to providing my backing as both exhibitor and NTDA Chairman in the run-up to 2010.” Web : www.ntda.co.uk
