Industry Sectors

The Brintex portfolio of events falls into various industry sectors, many of which benefit from close editorial support from Hemming Group publications.

Traffic Management and Intelligent Transport Systems

The fastest growing sector of the Brintex business servies the traffic technology industry.  Traffex is one of Europe's largest engineering, road safety and highway maintenance events, whilst the ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems) series of peripatetic congresses and exhibitions are world-class.  Brintex also works with the British Parking Association in the presentation of the annual Parkex that covers the latest innovations in parking enforcement technology.

Drinks

The single largest event in the Brintex calendar is the annual London International Wine Fair.  Wholly owned and developed by Brintex since its inauguration in 1981, the Fair is now one of the world's leading wine trade events with an international gross audience of 19,000 professional visitors.  In 2008 Distil - the business of spirits was added alongside the Wine Fair to provide a platform for the global spirits brands to exhibit.

Emergency Services

For many years Brintex has partnered with some of the UK's most highly regarded public sector emergency services associations to bring a series of focused events to their members and a wide trade audience.  The British Association of Public Safety Communications Officers, the Association of Chief Police Officers and the Association of Police Authorities run their annual conferences and exhibition in partnership with Brintex.

Fashion and Clothing

Brintex has a long tradition of organising events for the UK fashion market.  The current portfolio includes a series of roadshows for the lingerie trade that take the suppliers to the buyers to exhibit in various major cities.  In April 2007 Brintex acquired Surf Shop Expo, Europe's leading dedicated event for the boardriding retail trade.  This event has now been expanded to include the complete boardsports industry and re-titled HUB.  Apart from the hardware, HUB includes a full range of apparel, accessories and footwear for the surf, skate, and street clothing buyers.

Local Government

The Hemming Group has been closely involved in the local government and public sector arena for many years and subsequently are entrusted to organise a number of key events and conferences in partnership with corresponding government agencies.  Supported through our Municipal Yearbook, The MJ, and Surveyor magazines, Brintex are uniquely placed to successfully manage such key exhibitions as the National Children and Adult Services Exhibition as well as the Local Government Association Exhibition.  New in the calendar for 2010 is the Public Property Expo that brings together those responsible for delivering operational efficiency savings, relocation and the modernisation of the £370 billion public sector estate.
