Proceeds from the show are reinvested into projects that support innovation, training, and future skills. There’s also strong support for SMEs and start-ups. The show is also a rare chance for suppliers to have face-to-face conversations with the people who operate their equipment every day. These discussions can shape product development, influence design decisions, and offer insights that simply don’t come through on a phone call or webinar. That said, there’s still a place for digital engagement—and PlantWorx continues to support it. The next official PlantWorx webinar will take place on May 8th, hosted by Peter Haddock. Titled “The Innovation Landscape”, the session will feature guest speakers from Costain, BAM, National Highways, and Balfour Beatty.
