Robin Lennox, South West Water
"WWEM is undoubtedly the venue for all those concerned with measurement and instrumentation in the water industry. Manufacturers and suppliers were there in strength and with the Environment Agency well represented there was plenty of opportunity to track the inside story. The conference event was well attended with good presentations on regulatory changes and associated topics. Noticable technical advances were in evidence at WWEM this year, including advances in ammonia and pollution montitoring, with Profibus now progressing even into colorimetric analysers - a move long awaited by the water industry. Those from the water companies who missed this event now have some catching up to do!"

Angus Fosten, Partech Instruments
"The best exhibition that Partech have attended for many years - a great launch for our new brand image"

Simon Wyre, Director of Monitoring Systems
"Generally, I thought the organisation of the event was good and we received a number of good quality enquiries."

Dan Ware, Water Active
Was “thrilled to be a part of the WWEM exhibition and conference. The Telford venue is superb. We can honestly say that despite the many years of exhibiting at trade exhibitions, this show was unique. The atmosphere was one of expectancy, friendliness and camaraderie. Visitors were positive about the products available, and keen to discuss solutions to problems. It was, without question, the nicest show we’ve ever done, and the exhibiting experience was made all the more pleasant by the additional things laid on by the organiser, and the attitude of those involved. We can’t wait until the next one.”

Keith Flint, Pulsar Process Measurement
“WWEM 2008 was very well organised with a good level of attendance. We had some worthwhile discussions with customers and a good level of positive enquiries. The event has grown significantly from the previous exhibition and we were delighted with the number and quality of visitors to our stand. We will be following up a number of interesting enquiries as a result of our attendance at WWEM.”

Steve Tuck, Pollution and Process Monitoring
“WWEM 2008 was a good opportunity for networking and the whole event was organised very well.”

James Carlyle, Ashtead Technology Rentals
“As a supplier of instrumentation for hire, we need to be aware of all the latest technological developments and as such WWEM was a great opportunity to see almost all of the water instrumentation sector under one roof. As a result of my visit, I anticipate being able to add several new products to our instrument portfolio.”

Ian Mewett, Yorkshire Water
"I would like to thank the whole team of organisers for the WWEM 2008 exhibition, I was only able to attend on the second day, but found it very informative as well as a great opportunity to check out what is happening in the industry, again many thanks for all your effort. I will be looking forward to the next WWEM in November 2010."

Tony Halker, Intellitect Water
“We were delighted with the response that we received to our products. We are creating a new market for monitoring the UK’s largest unmonitored asset, so, as a specialist event targeted at the monitoring community, WWEM provided an excellent opportunity for us to discuss the enormous benefits that our technology can provide with key people from both the UK water sector and overseas.”

Dr Rayne Longhurst, EnPrint
“WWEM 2008 was my first exhibitor’s event and was delighted with the excellent exposure for our company, stimulating discussions with visitors and hopefully some useful contacts made over the two days.”

Jason Venn, PG Instruments
“Over the two days we received a good number of qualified leads which we will hopefully be able to turn into sales. The attendance was good and if we these enquiries turn to sales then we would definitely appear again.”

Paul Williams, Aquaco
“Following Aquaco’s workshop ‘Rainwater and Grey Water Recycling Systems and Waste Water Treatment Systems’ the stand was inundated. We can honestly say that across the two days Aquaco achieved a record number of genuine sales leads.”

Peter Ward, Mobrey Measurement Division, Emerson Process Management.
"Very well organized and a good level of attendance. We had some worthwhile discussions with customers and a good level of positive enquiries. We will certainly consider doing this exhibition again"

Roger Powell , Process Measurement & Analysis Ltd
"The PMA Ltd experience was very positive. Certainly we met a significant number of new potential customers including both industrial and food processing sector companies. Thumbs up all round for that. The hall itself was very well laid out with an ever expanding mix of truly excellent exhibits. A number of customers both old and new stated more than once that the WWEM had replaced IWEX for them in terms of monitoring and control instrumentation."

Chris Welsh, Cogent Environmental
"We found the WWEM 2008 exhibition to be well attended by the right sort of customers for our products.”

Ian Thompson, YSI
“WWEM was a fantastic event for YSI Hydrodata; our stand was extremely busy on both days and as such we were able to demonstrate the new products to a large number of existing and potential customers."

Simon Wills, OTT Hydrometry
“As a specialist event, we don’t expect vast crowds but the quality of the visitors was extremely high – every visitor to our stand had a genuine interest in monitoring water quality level or flow.”

Michael Strahand, ATi
“ATi thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of WWEM 2008 and are already considering what they will do at the next WWEM. Our stand was busy on both days and some new and exciting potential customers spent time with us. Marcus Pattison and his excellent team did a great job organising everything. Good show, we'll be back."

Tony Hoyle, ABB
"We found the exhibition and workshops very focused this year. Many more industrial PPC operators came along in addition to the UK Water industry professionals. The workshops that we gave were well attended and highlighted interest in achieving compliance with Effluent Flow Monitoring arrangements and MCERTS - a great event all round."

Sarah Blayds, HACH LANGE
“We were delighted with both the volume and quality of enquiries that we received for our process monitoring equipment and our laboratory analysis instruments and reagents. It was also very pleasing to note the level of interest that we received in the cooperation that we have established with MWH for real-time control of nutrient removal with increased efficiency and lower energy costs for activated sludge systems.”

David Miller, Camlab
“It was a good show, our workshops were well attended and we took a good number of quality leads on the stand. We had particular interest in our new PECOD Rapid Clean COD method from Aquadiagnostic which reduces test time and also removes the need for toxic reagents We are already following up the enquiries for both laboratory and online systems. With 24 attendees the workshop presentation from Camlab and Insitu Inc, on 'Low flow sampling' was very popular and hopefully will encourage the use of this technique in the future.”

Guy Fitzpatrick, ITT Water & Wastewater
"I would like to say we at ITT Water & Wasterwater Ltd found the exhibition run very efficiently by a very friendly and happy team. The customer level can always be more however the caliber of those who we met was very high with a good number of leads resulting – thanks to all involved."
