FPS EXPO organised by heating oil trade association, The Federation of Petroleum Suppliers, is the oil industry event of the year and is returning to the Liverpool Exhibition Centre on 18 and 19 April 2018 with the promise of a global audience and many more new exhibitors.

FPS EXPO 2018 is expected to attract more than 1,500 visitors from around the world and over 140 exhibitors from across the oil and fuel industry.

Dawn Shakespeare, Marketing and Events Manager for the FPS, and organiser of the exhibition, says: “Every year we anticipate great things for FPS EXPO – and every year, new records are set in terms of visitor and exhibitor numbers. Next year promises to be the same and we are all super excited about all FPS EXPO 2018 will deliver.

“It’s particularly heartening that we have long-standing exhibitors as well as new firms booking for the first time, and it just goes to show the wide appeal of the event and its importance in the industry’s calendar.

“There are almost six months still to go before FPS EXPO 2018 and already we have sold most of our stands, with less than 30% of exhibition space still available.

“Next year’s new exhibitors include Ashdowne Oil & Chemical, Close Brothers Asset Finance, REDS Group Ltd, and Cavagna UK Ltd, who will stand alongside returning companies such as Adler & Allan, Philips 66, Scania, Road Tankers Northern, Tasca Tankers, Elaflex and Emco Wheaton.”

The main sponsor of FPS EXPO 2018 is TIP Europe, with P66 and PCL Horn also sponsoring the event.

“FPS EXPO is a fantastic mix of business and networking opportunities, as a result of the range of exhibitors and visitors,” adds Dawn Shakespeare.

“The exhibitors that have already booked include businesses in the manufacturing, distribution, supply and technology sector, in both the UK and across Europe – which means there’ll be lots of exciting new products, services and technologies on display.

“The Exhibition Centre Liverpool is a fantastic venue to host our annual exhibition and we’re thrilled to be back there again next year. Visitors and exhibitors are able to meet new clients and network with key buyers and decision-makers, as well as view all the cutting-edge technology – and all in the spacious surroundings of the venue.

“In addition, there will be the FPS’ annual networking events, The President’s Drinks Reception and an After Show Party, that always prove so popular.”

Following the news of the devastating fire at the multi-storey car park at the Exhibition Centre Liverpool site on New Years Eve, it has been confirmed that although the car park is out of action for the foreseeable future alternative parking arrangements will be made and the FPS EXPO 2018 will not be impacted in any way.
