Latest figures from Interbuild reveal a massive £1.2bn increase on the value of live visitor projects underway during the 2007 show (26 October – 1 November).

Visitors were working on 5,500 active projects, worth a staggering £17.4bn, according to the show’s sister company, EMAP Glenigan, which specialises in the tracking of projects, companies and contacts in UK construction. “These figures are testament to the industry’s valuable contribution to the wider economy,” said Interbuild event director James Gower. “The visitor breakdown shows audience buying power was at an all-time high, signifying the start of a new era for Interbuild. With the launch of the show as an annual event the trade now has this fantastic opportunity to tap-into a huge buying audience year-after-year. We look forward to replicating the success enjoyed at this year’s show and making it an annual cause for celebration.”
