UKCS signs multi-show deal with The NEC
UK Concrete Show commits to Hall 17 at The NEC Birmingham for the next two events
FOLLOWING the success of the 2025 UK Concrete Show this March – which welcomed nearly a third more visitors than the previous event – and with the 2026 edition already enjoying record exhibitor re-bookings, The QMJ Group have committed to making Hall 17 at The NEC the show’s home for the next two event cycles.
A new two-year agreement with The NEC will see The UK Concrete Show return to Birmingham from 25–26 March 2026, and again from 17–18 March 2027, reinforcing the show as the meeting place for the UK concrete industry.
As part of the agreement, The QMJ Group has also paid for complimentary parking for visitors, further underlining the organizer’s commitment to making the show as accessible and cost-effective as possible for all attendees.
‘Our decision to choose Hall 17 as the show’s long-term home reflects The NEC’s outstanding location and facilities,’ explained Richard Bradbury, managing director of The QMJ Group. ‘With 75% of the UK population within a three-hour drive, excellent national transport links, and 16,500 on-site parking spaces, it’s an ideal venue for attracting a wide audience.
‘And as the UK’s leading exhibition centre with 186,000m2 of indoor space, The NEC also provides the ideal platform for future growth. Looking ahead, we’re planning several exciting new features for the 2026 show, with full details set to be unveiled this autumn!’
