Statement regarding CleanEx 2020 and Hospitality Expo 2020

We can now confirm that CleanEx and Hospitality Expo have been postponed until Sunday 25th and Monday 26th April 2021.

We had considered holding the event later this year, but with the timescale of COVID-19 being unknown, may be months, we felt it better to reschedule for 2021.

We would like to thank those of you who have offered messages of support. We now feel from your comments that our decision to protect the safety of our exhibitors and visitors has been widely acknowledged.

All sponsorship and bookings will remain secured and we look forward to working with you over the coming months as we re-plan the event for next year.

Finally, we wish you all the very best for your businesses. Keep your families and staff safe in these extraordinary and worrying times.
