Butlins
 

The Butlins Mineworkers Championship has announced that MT Media is to administer the trade show village at their 2012 event in January next year.

Premium space

A spokesperson told 4BR: "Exhibition space in the newly refurbished Skyline Pavilion will once again be at a premium and therefore companies who supported the event in 2011 will be afforded the first opportunity to exhibit in 2012."

Former Association off Band Traders trade show manager Jon Handley will continue to act as a consultant to ensure the smooth running of the 2012 event.
