Save the date! The water jetting event of the year is back in 2025
Following the success of the Water Jetting Association’s first major trade show in September 2024 the exhibition will return in 2025.
Planning has begun for WJA Trade Show 2025 with the aim of making it even bigger and better than the inaugural event, with a strong focus on providing opportunities for WJA members to promote their services.
WJA Trade Show 2024 was held at the StoneX Stadium, North London, on Thursday 12th September, home of the Saracens Premiership ruby club.
The exhibition was hailed a big success by more than 30 exhibitors and visitors from across the UK and internationally.
Building on success
The WJA Board has now approved a plan to hold WJA Trade Show 2025 at the same venue on Thursday 11th September 2025. As with this year’s exhibition, it will remain free to attend.
WJA Chairman Lee O’Callaghan said: “If you have an interest in water jetting, put Thursday 11th September 2025 in your diary, because WJA Trade Show 2025 will be the place to be.
“We’re already looking forward to building on the success of the inaugural WJA exhibition to attract even more exhibitors and visitors to next year’s event.
“WJA Trade Show 2024 proved our analysis to be correct: there is an demand for a national event that showcases the capabilities and advantages of water jetting in all its forms.
“Feedback from visitors and exhibitors during and after the event has been extremely positive. We’ve learned a huge amount from the first event and we’re confident we can make WJA Trade Show 2025 an even bigger success.”
Attractive exhibitor opportunities
WJA Director Leanne Smith said WJA Trade Show 2025 would be perfectly aligned with the WJA’s vision and purpose – to represent its members, promote the water jetting industry, and campaign on key issues, most importantly on health, safety and wellbeing.
She added: “Many exhibitors from this year have already said they plan to return for WJA Trade Show 2025 and we’re already getting expressions of interest from other companies and organisations.
“We’re confident we can create even more attractive opportunities for exhibitors and an even better visitor experience, with more to see and more people to meet from across the water jetting industry.”
Become a show sponsor
The WJA will, again, be seeking sponsors to support WJA Trade Show 2025. Sponsors of the 2024 event were Aquajet UK, Flowplant Group, Doornbos, and WaterJet Training.
Leanne Smith said: “We very much valued the support of our sponsors this year, and will be creating attractive packages for participants who want to provide this additional backing for next year’s event.”
WJA Trade Show 2024 attracted exhibitors from across the UK water jetting industry and mainland Europe, most of them WJA members. They included contractors, hire specialists, manufacturers, PPE suppliers and training providers.
WJA Trade Show 2025 will take place the day after the WJA’s annual general meeting, which will be held at the same venue.
The WJA will be taking expressions of interest from potential exhibitors and sponsors in early January 2025 – and visitors will be able to start booking their free tickets to attend at the same time.
