The 2014 International Dirt Bike Show at Stoneleigh Park was slightly ahead of last year in terms of visitor attendance which, when coupled with the fact that 2013 had shown significant growth, is a healthy sign, according to organiser Mortons Media.
“The bigger picture was one of a vibrant and entertaining all-rounder, providing a high-quality shop window for the industry. Fans cited astonishing value-for-money. The show will return to Stoneleigh Park in 2015 with another four-day exhibition, from Thursday, 29 October through to Sunday 1 November.
“Enquiries from new companies looking to join the Dirt Bike Show cause are already starting to flood in.”
Popular comedian Ross Noble attended as well as high-profile racing teams. A number of first-look product launches were in evidence around the Stoneleigh Park halls and media from BBC television and radio, as well as various film crews and global magazines descended on Europe’s largest off-road show to help spread the dirt-biking word.
On the exhibitor front, all major off-road manufacturers were represented and the retail hall “was buzzing, departing visitors laden with purchases”.
Summing up the 2014 event, Nick Mowbray said; “The overwhelming feedback from visitors and exhibitors is that the show delivered on its promise, providing something for the whole family.”
