Slide/OTS opened its doors across January 9 – 11, and SOURCE took the trip up to Telford to walk the show. Attendance to the show was up 8% compared to 2023, and booths were busy with back to back meetings: this is definitely an order writing show. The UK industry was in a buoyant mood following better than anticipated winter sales in the first months of the season.
